Background: Pure mucinous carcinoma is a rare histologic type of mammary neoplasm and may exist as mixed mucinous-ductal carcinoma. This study aims to describe fine needle aspiration cytology features of mucinous carcinoma of breast diagnosed in Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal over the period of 2 years and to correlate with histological findings. Materials and Methods:There were a total of 8 cases of mucinous carcinoma of breast, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology in TUTH during the period from April 2010 to March 2012. The patient's age, laterality of involvement, fine needle aspiration cytology features, gross and histological findings, type of surgery performed and tumor size were evaluated. Fine needle aspiration cytology smears were evaluated for cellularity, amount of mucin, chicken-wire vasculature and nuclear atypia.Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology provided a pre-operative diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma in 5 cases and mixed mucinous carcinoma-invasive ductal carcinoma in 3 cases. Histological examination showed pure mucinous carcinoma in 3 cases, mixed mucinous carcinoma-invasive ductal carcinoma in 4 cases and mixed cribriform carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in 1 case. Conclusion:Mucinous carcinoma may appear clinically and radiologically benign and fine needle aspiration cytology plays important role in the correct pre-operative diagnosis. Significant nuclear pleomorphism and necrosis, in addition to extracellular mucin suggests mixed mucinous carcinomainvasive ductal carcinoma.

Objective: Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is relatively rare and the prevalence of its pure form among all carcinomas of the breast is 2%. Its pure and mixed types have been defined. This study aims at evaluating therapeutic approaches to and prognostic features of mucinous carcinoma of the breast. Materials and Methods:The 24 patients, who had undergone surgery because of mucinous breast cancer at our clinic between 2004 and 2011, were categorized into two groups as pure and mixed according to their pathological diagnoses within the scope of the study.Results: All the cases were female and the median age was 54 years (37-84). While the number of patients with mixed mucinous carcinoma of the breast was 15, the number of patients with pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast was nine (37.5%). The median follow-up period of the patients was 40 (12-84) months. Axillary lymph node metastasis was seen only in one patient within the pure group (11%) while it was seen in nine cases in the mixed group. Thus, there was a statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0.001). Local recurrence was seen only in one patient in the mixed group. While there were six patients with distant metastases in the mixed group, there was no distant metastasis in the pure group (p=0.028). Conclusion:Pure mucinous breast cancers have better prognoses than other invasive breast cancers. Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a type of cancer with which physicians may achieve gratifying results through treatment carried out in line with oncological principles.Key words: Breast cancer, mucinous carcinoma, mastectomy ÖZET Amaç: Müsinöz meme kanserleri nispeten nadirdir ve pür halinin tüm meme karsinomları içerisinde görülme sıklığı %2'dir. Pür ve mikst tipleri tarif edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada müsinöz meme kanserindeki tedavi yaklaşım-ları ve prognostik özelliklerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem ve Gereçler:Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde 2004-2011 yılları arasında müsinöz meme kanseri nedeniyle ameliyat edilen 24 olgu patolojik tanılarına göre pür ve miks olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular:Olguların tamamı bayan ve ortanca yaşı 54(37-84) idi. Miks müsinöz meme karsinomlu hasta sayısı 15 (%62.5), pür müsinöz meme karsinomlu hasta sayısı ise dokuz (%37,5) idi. Hastaların ortanca izlem süresi 40 (12-84) aydı. Pür grupta aksiller lenf nodu metastazı sadece bir (%11) olguda mevcut olup miks grupta ise dokuz olguda saptanmış olup istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark vardı (p=0,001). Sadece miks grupta bir hastada lokal nüks görüldü. Miks grupta uzak metastazı olan hasta sayısı altı iken, pür grupta uzak metastaz saptanmadı. İki grup arasında uzak metastaz gelişimi açısından anlamlı fark vardı (p=0,028). Sonuç:Pür müsinöz meme kanserlerinin diğer invaziv meme kanserlerine göre prognozu oldukça iyidir. Pür müsinöz meme karsinomları onkolojik prensiplere uyularak yapılan tedaviyle yüz güldürücü neticeler alınabilen bir kanser türüdür.
