Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare tumor having a favorable prognosis. At this writing, less than 100 cases have been reported. A review of the literature discloses only six well-documented cases with associated distant metastases. The characteristic biological behavior of this tumor appears to be the development of distant metastasis without prior detectable invasion of axillary lymph nodes.
乳腺腺样囊性癌是一种预后良好的罕见肿瘤。撰写本文时，报告的病例不到100例。文献回顾仅发现6例有远处转移相关的充分记录病例。该肿瘤的特征性生物学行为似乎是在腋窝淋巴结未出现可检测到的转移之前就发生远处转移。
