Breast adenomyoepitheliomas (AMEs) are rare epithelial-myoepithelial neoplasms that may occasionally produce myxochondroid matrix, akin to pleomorphic adenomas (PAs). Regardless of their anatomic location, PAs often harbor rearrangements involving HM... Read More about Assessment of HMGA2 and PLAG1 rearrangements in breast adenomyoepitheliomas.
