Mucocele-like tumor(MLT)is a rare benign condition, and ofter misdiagnosed as mucinous carcinoma. METHODS: We encountered a 31-year-old woman with MLT of the breast. The patient presented with an elastic hard mass, 0.5cm in diameter, located in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. RESULTS: Physical examination as well as ultrasonography and mammography indicated a benign lesion. However, mucinous carcinoma was suspected based on aspiration biopsy cytology. MLT was finally diagnosed on excisional biopsy. CONCLUSION: Awareness of this breast disease helps to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.
黏液囊肿样肿瘤（MLT）是一种罕见的良性疾病，常被误诊为黏液癌。方法：我们遇到一名31岁患有乳腺黏液囊肿样肿瘤的女性。患者表现为一个直径0.5厘米的弹性硬块，位于右乳外上象限。结果：体格检查以及超声和乳腺X线摄影均提示为良性病变。然而，根据穿刺活检细胞学怀疑为黏液癌。最终通过切除活检确诊为黏液囊肿样肿瘤。结论：了解这种乳腺疾病有助于防止误诊和不必要的手术。
