  • Title: [Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast. Case report].
    Author: Chababy M, Daou R, Aftimos G.
    Journal: J Med Liban; 2002; 50(1-2):70-3. PubMed ID: 12841319.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast in a 62-year-old lady. This tumor is a rare histologic form of breast cancer, associated with a favorable prognosis, and a special clinical behavior. It is mainly diagnosed on morphological grounds, by identifying two populations of neoplastic basaloid myoepithelial and epithelial cells with extracellular deposits of eosinophilic basement membrane-like substance. Lymph node metastases are rare. Partial or simple mastectomy is an adequate treatment. Axillary lymph node dissection may not be necessary.
