[Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma in breast].
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare neoplasm. We report two observations occurring in female patients, 54 and 65 years old, who consulted for a mastodynia. Clinical examination showed limited painful breast nodules. On ultrasound and mammography they are well-limited bulky mass without microcalcifications. Diagnosis was based on final histopathological exam completed by immunohistochemistry or after slides review. The two patients were treated by mammectomy plus adjuvant radiotherapy and remain alive in remission with a follow-up of 29 and 36 months.
