Solid-type adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast, a distinct molecular entity enriched in NOTCH and CREBBP mutations
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast with a predominant solid pattern is difficult to diagnose with certainty and differentiate from more common triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) of basal-phenotype. To better characterize solid ACC, we performed a clinical, morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular comparative analysis of 33 ACCs of the breast comprising 17 solid variant ACCs and 16 conventional ACCs.We showed that solid-type ACC of the breast is a distinct molecular entity within the ACC family and is different from common basal-type TNBC.
