ABSTRACT

Pure mucinous carcinoma is a rare variant of invasive carcinoma of breast associated with favourable prognosis. On cytological evaluation, it is important to differentiate mucinous carcinoma from other mucin containing benign and malignant lesions of breast. We report a case of pure mucinous carcinoma of breast in a 70 year old woman with an emphasis on the cytodiagnosis. The diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma was suggested on cytology. Modified mastectomy was performed and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis as pure mucinous carcinoma.
