Secretory carcinoma of the breast. Report of a case with fine needle aspiration biopsy.

A case of secretory carcinoma of the breast in a 48-year-old woman studied by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is presented. The prominent intracytoplasmic vacuolization and numerous signet-ring forms and the presence of sheets of neoplastic cells with large intercellular spaces should permit its diagnosis in FNA specimens. The differential diagnosis of this rare lesion from other breast neoplasms that show similar features is discussed.
