The cytologic findings of a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the breast are presented. This rare tumor appeared identical to pleomorphic adenoma of salivary glands. It presented diagnostic difficulties, however, because of its rarity and the fact that its associated clinical findings suggested a malignancy. The cytologic differential diagnosis includes a phyllodes tumor, fibroadenoma, and metaplastic carcinoma. Awareness of this entity should permit a definitive diagnosis by aspiration biopsy.
本文呈现了一例乳腺多形性腺瘤的细胞学检查结果。这种罕见的肿瘤外观与涎腺多形性腺瘤相同。然而,由于其罕见性以及相关临床表现提示恶性肿瘤,因此在诊断上存在困难。细胞学鉴别诊断包括叶状肿瘤、纤维腺瘤和化生癌。认识到这一实体应有助于通过细针穿刺活检做出明确诊断。
