Abstract :

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Breast (ACC) is a very rare malignant neoplasm of east accounting for <0.1 % all patients diagnosed with east cancer. To date, only 6 cases have been reported in India. It has indolent course with favourable prognosis, despite its triple negative status. Radiologically, its appearance is nonspecific but its diagnosis can be made by FNAC. Here, we report a female with east lump initially diagnosed as lobular carcinoma on FNAC. She underwent lumpectomy which on histopathology was ACC. Subsequently, she underwent Breast Conservation Surgery for scar and residual lump excision. Histopathology report was the same without neural & nodal involvement. Postoperatively, pt. not advised any adjuvant therapy and currently doing well6 months postoperatively. Although surgery is the main treatment, due to its rarity, there has been no consensus regarding established treatment protocol.
