CONCLUSION: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare type of breast neoplasm that usually appears as a slowly enlarging nodule. In spite of its low incidence, recognition is important because early detection ensures good prognosis. On mammography, these tumors often appear as moderately circumscribed, lobulated nodules that are similar to other types of benign and malignant tumors. Therefore, cytologic and histologic evaluations are needed for accurate diagnosis. | lld:pubmed |
