Fine-needle aspiration cytology remains a useful tool for preoperative diagnosis of breast lesions. We describe a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast detected by ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Subsequent histopathology corroborated the diagnosis. ACC is a rare but distinctive neoplasm of the breast that can be accurately diagnosed by FNA. Its infrequent presentation, favorable prognosis, and relatively conservative management in the breast prompt us to reinforce its features.
细针穿刺细胞学检查仍然是术前诊断乳腺病变的一种有用工具。我们描述了一例通过超声引导下细针穿刺（FNA）检测出的乳腺腺样囊性癌（ACC）病例。随后的组织病理学证实了该诊断。ACC是一种罕见但独特的乳腺肿瘤，可通过FNA准确诊断。其在乳腺中的罕见表现、良好预后及相对保守的治疗方法促使我们强化其特征。
