Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare neoplasm that constitutes less than one percent of all mammary carcinomas. To date, there have been about 140 cases reported in the literature. It is a rare variant of adenocarcinoma that usually occurs in the salivary glands. In contrast to the aggressive nature of adenoid cystic carcinoma that occurs in the head and neck region, adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast has a very favourable prognosis. Little has been published to date on its radiological features. We describe a 63-year-old woman with adenoid cystic carcinoma detected on mammography in our national breast screening programme, the radiological findings at presentation, the surgical management and a review of the literature.
乳腺腺样囊性癌是一种罕见的肿瘤，占所有乳腺癌的比例不到1%。迄今为止，文献报道的病例约有140例。它是腺癌的一种罕见变体，通常发生于唾液腺。与头颈部发生的具有侵袭性的腺样囊性癌不同，乳腺腺样囊性癌的预后非常好。迄今为止，关于其影像学特征的报道很少。我们描述了一名63岁女性，在我国国家乳腺筛查项目的乳腺钼靶检查中发现患有腺样囊性癌，介绍了其就诊时的影像学表现、手术治疗情况并对文献进行了综述。
