ABSTRACT:
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare type of primary
breast cancer with a favorable prognosis, despite its triple-negative status.
There has been no consensus regarding treatments. We will report a case of
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast presented with localized disease and no
axillary lymph node metastases. We performed a radical mastectomy with axillary
lymph node dissection, with a favorable clinical course and we will describe
the clinic pathologic features of ACC of the breast and review the current
literature.
