===General===
{{Main|Adenomyoepithelioma}}
*Rare lesion consisting of epithelial and myoepithelial elements.
**May occur in other sites, e.g. tonsil.<ref name=pmid20356364>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Ren | first1 = J. | last2 = Song | first2 = L. | last3 = Dang | first3 = Q. | last4 = Zhang | first4 = X. | last5 = Jiang | first5 = SW. | last6 = Zhang | first6 = G. | last7 = Wang | first7 = N. | last8 = Liu | first8 = Z. | last9 = Wang | first9 = J. | title = Primary adenomyoepithelioma of tonsil. | journal = Head Neck Oncol | volume = 2 | issue =  | pages = 7 | month =  | year = 2010 | doi = 10.1186/1758-3284-2-7 | PMID = 20356364 }}</ref>

*Well-circumscribed.
*Glandular architecture with:
**Easily identifiable myoepithelial cells - with clear cytoplasm - '''key feature'''.
**Eosinophilic cuboidal epithelial cells.
*Eosinophilic basement membrane material between glands.

*[[Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast]] (on core biopsy).
*Mammary pleomorphic adenoma.
*Ductal adenoma.
*[[Tubular adenoma of the breast]] - does not have a prominent (clear) myoepithelial component.
