## Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare variant of breast malignancy and has a better prognosis than its counterpart in the salivary glands. In this communication, our experience with seven cases of ACC of the breast is presented in which the diagnosis was established on fine-needl

We report the cytologic findings of a case of Rosai-Dorfman disease of the breast in a 52-year-old diabetic woman, initially sampled by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA). The patient presented with a 2-week history of a 3 ฯซ 2 cm nodule in the mid-upper area of the left breast. A mammogram taken 6
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the breast is a very uncommon neoplasm. Fine-needle aspiration findings have been rarely reported. We report a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the breast that was diagnosed as a typical ductal carcinoma cytologically. The patient was a 45-year-old female who had a right bre
With widespread use of mammographic screening, more cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are being detected. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is an established and reliable method for diagnosing breast carcinoma. However, its usefulness in distinguishing infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) from DCIS
Metastases to the breast from extramammary primary malignancies, including renal adenocarcinoma, are rare. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is a useful, noninvasive, and rapid procedure to evaluate these mammary lesions. This study describes the cytomorphology of 3 cases of renal-cell adenocarcin
A 79-yr-old woman presented with a 5-yr history of swelling of the left cheek. The fine-needle aspiration (FNA) smear showed a spindle-cell neoplasm with capillaries and benign endothelial cells. The spindle cells possessed pleomorphic, hyperchromatic elongated nuclei and a moderate amount of ill-de
