  • Title: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration.
    Author: Saqi A, Mercado CL, Hamele-Bena D.
    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 2004 Apr; 30(4):271-4. PubMed ID: 15048965.
    Abstract:
    Fine-needle aspiration cytology remains a useful tool for preoperative diagnosis of breast lesions. We describe a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast detected by ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Subsequent histopathology corroborated the diagnosis. ACC is a rare but distinctive neoplasm of the breast that can be accurately diagnosed by FNA. Its infrequent presentation, favorable prognosis, and relatively conservative management in the breast prompt us to reinforce its features.
