Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare type of breast cancer that is similar to a relatively common tumour of the salivary gland.
It is also known as breast adenoid cystic carcinoma, abbreviated BACC.[1]
General
- Like tumour of the salivary gland.
- Very rare <0.1% of breast malignancies.[2]
- Good prognosis.[2]
Microscopic
- See: Adenoid cystic carcinoma article.

IHC
- One of the 'good prognosis' triple negative breast cancers - ER, PR and HER2 negative.[3]
- Basal-like breast cancer - p63 and CK5/6 positive.[3]
CD117 positive[3]
