Abstract

A case of infiltrating carcinoma of the breast with features similar to those seen in acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland is described in a 42-year-old woman. The neoplastic cells were immunoreactive with anti-lysozyme- and anti-salivary-type amylase antisera and contained electron-dense cytoplasmic globules similar to those seen in acinic cell carcinoma of salivary glands. One lymph node out of 18 was found to contain a metastatic deposit. The patient is alive and well 1 year after mastectomy. This appears to be the first case of carcinoma with acinic cell-like features reported in the breast.
