Colloid carcinoma (pure mucinous carcinoma) is an uncommon variant of breast carcinoma with distinctive cytological and histological features. These tumors are characterised by islands of tumor cells floating in a sea of abundant extracellular mucin. We present the cytology of two cases of colloid carcinoma occurring in 80-year-old and 45-year-old females. The fine-needle aspiration cytology helps to subcategorize the tumor type, thereby enhancing the knowledge about the distinctive cytological features of special and uncommon variants of breast carcinoma, their course and prognosis. A distinctive micropapillary variant of pure mucinous carcinoma which is rarely described, is represented in one of the cases. Also we report, here, colloid carcinoma in a female of reproductive age, a relatively uncommon occurrence.
黏液癌（纯黏液腺癌）是一种罕见的乳腺癌变体，具有独特的细胞学和组织学特征。这些肿瘤的特点是肿瘤细胞岛漂浮在大量细胞外黏液中。我们展示了两例分别发生在80岁和45岁女性身上的黏液癌的细胞学表现。细针穿刺细胞学有助于对肿瘤类型进行细分，从而增进对特殊和罕见乳腺癌变体独特细胞学特征、病程及预后的了解。其中一例呈现了一种罕见描述的纯黏液腺癌独特微乳头变体。此外，我们在此报告一例育龄女性的黏液癌，这相对少见。
