Abstract

Incidence of adenoid cystic carcinoma of breast ranges from 0.1% to 1%. Its rare occurrence makes its surgical management options debatable. However rarity of metastasis contributes to an encouraging prognosis inspite of its triple negative receptor status. Herein, we report the case of a 60 year old woman who presented with a breast lump that turned out to be adenoid cystic carcinoma.
