“…Kollcr et at report a solitary case to the brain after L2 years (18). Ten cases of local recurrence, nine following local excision , are reported (3,5,8,17,19,20,21) accounting for simple mastectomy being the treatment of choice. Deep tumour fixation is rare{i9,22) occurring in the presence of large tumour masses.…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is a malignant tumour of significant incidence with a better prognosis than histologically identical tumours occurring in other sites and as compared to other malignant tumours of the breast. The recognition of the tumour is important especially in the management of the individual patient but also in furthering understanding of growth, spread and biological behaviour of tumours.

“…The duration of symptoms is variable but often quite long-months or even many years. It is worth noting that Lusted (1970) had calculated the linear growth rate of the tumour in one case as 2-4 mm per year. Presentation is generally with a mass in the breast.…”

“…Single case reports have been omitted except those which illustrate some unusual feature. The rarity of this tumour in the breast and the difficulty of distinguishing it from other lesions, notably intraduct carcinoma, sclerosing adenosis, and epitheliosis, have been repeatedly emphasized (Cavanzo and Taylor, 1969;Friedman and Oberman, 1970;Lusted, 1970). Histogenesis remains doubtful, and ultrastructural studies have been inconclusive (Koss et al, 1970;Woyke et al, 1970).…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast: prevalence, diagnostic criteria, and histogenesis.

Three cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma have been identified in a 10-year review of 2686 cases of breast carcinoma. The criteria necessary for diagnosis have been reviewed with particular reference to cribriform intraduct carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the breast with small, dark, 'basaloid'-cell pattern. The most important single diagnostic criterion of adenoid cystic carcinoma is a biphasic cellular pattern which may be aded by the demonstration of two types of mucin stromal acid mucopolysaccharide and ductal neutral mucopolysaccharide. This tumour most frequently presents as a painful or tender mass near the areola, and it carries a uniquely favourable prognosis when compared with similar tumours elsewhere in the body. Actomyosin has been demonstrated in all three tumours by an immunofluorescent method, and this supports a predominantly myoepithelial origin.

“…The same grading system was applied by Lamovec et al, who found it of limited value [30]; none of their six patients experienced recurrences or metastases. Recurrences or metastases from ACC of the breast are reported very rarely [32,37,45], as are deaths caused by the tumour [45]. Metastases can develop after 10-20 years, which makes it imperative to follow up these patients for a long period [2].…”

Carcinomas of the breast showing myoepithelial cell differentiation

Myoepithelial cells are normally located between the epithelial cells and the basal lamina of secretory elements of exocrine glands. Their role in the histogenesis of breast tumours has been studied extensively, and a definite differentiation towards myoepithelial cells has been demonstrated in adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenomyoepithelioma, low-grade adenosquamous (syringomatous) carcinoma, pure malignant myoepithelioma and poorly differentiated myoepithelial-rich breast carcinoma. All these tumours are of low malignancy, with the exception of malignant myoepithelioma and poorly differentiated myoepithelial-rich carcinoma. When a low-grade tumour is associated with a spindle cell component, distant metastases must be expected. Pure malignant myoepithelioma shows morphological and clinical features similar to those of monophasic sarcomatoid carcinomas, and it is possible that this last tumour is linked histogenetically to sarcomatoid carcinomas.
