Abstract
Salivary gland-like tumours are described in the breast but remain very rare and difficult to diagnose in this location. Only 37 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma have been described in the literature. We report the challenging diagnosis of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma sampled by core biopsy in a 51-year-old woman.
