Abstract
A case of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast in a 71-year-ol d woman is reported. This neoplasm accounts for about 0.1% of all brea st cancers. The mammography showed a well-delineated mass without calc ifications. Cytologic examination of percutaneous fine-needle aspirati on (FNA) material gave th diagnostic of ACC, which was confirmed by hi stologic examination. This report emphasized the utility of immunocyto chemical study with collagen IV antibody on FNA material of this uncom mon tumor. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
