High-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the breast.
A case of high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the breast of a 46-year-old woman was studied. Of 19 axillary lymph nodes examined in the surgical specimen, 17 displayed metastatic cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of primary breast cancer histologically comparable with high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary-gland origin.
