title: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast: Review of the literature and report of two cases.
abstract: In this study, we report two cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast. Two women presented to our hospital with a tender lump in the breast. Mammography and ultrasonography both revealed an ill-defined mass in the breast. We performed modified radical mastectomies on the patients, and pathological assessment following surgery showed ACC of the breast. Both patients received chemotherapy following surgery, have been followed up to date and remain in good health. In this study, we report these two rare cases and review the existing literature regarding ACC of the breast.
