Abstract

Abstract: Objective To report two rate cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast （ACCb）. Methods Clinical data of 2 patients diagnosed with ACCb admitted to Hebei Provincial People′s Hospital in 2018 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The ages of the two patients were 78 and 56 years old respectively, follow-ups were 39 and 12 months respectively. No recurrence and metastasis were found. Conclusion ACCb is a rare triple-negative breast cancer, its imaging and signs are untypical, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed. The diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma mainly depends on cell morphology and immunohistochemistry. However, adenoid cystic carcinoma is a type of triple negative breast cancer with a relatively good prognosis.

Key words: breast tumors, triple-negative breast cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, clinicopathological features, immunohistochemistry

摘要： 目的提升对乳腺腺样囊性癌（ACCb）的认识。方法回顾性分析2018和2020年河北省人民医院收治且确诊为ACCb的2例患者的临床资料。结果 2例女性患者年龄分别为78岁和56岁,随访时间分别为12个月和39个月均无复发转移。结论 ACC为罕见的一种三阴性乳腺癌,它的影像学表现和患者的体征都不典型,容易误诊,确诊主要依赖细胞形态学和免疫组织化学,是三阴性乳腺癌中预后相对较好的类型。
