    Breast epithelial–myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare malignant tumor, comprising less than 0.5% of all breast tumors.

  • 2

    The case study presents a 70-year-old woman with breast EMC, highlighting multimodal imaging findings including mammography, CT, MRI, and ultrasound.

  • 3

    Imaging characteristics of EMC are non-specific and can overlap with other breast conditions, complicating diagnosis.

  • 4

    Shear-wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) findings in EMC are limited but show potential for assessing tumor characteristics.

  • 5

    The study aims to enhance understanding of EMC imaging features and the role of multimodal ultrasound in evaluating rare breast tumors.
