ABSTRACT

We present for the first time a case of primary infiltrating acinic cell carcinoma in an elderly patient associated with an intraductal component,which was also composed of tumor cells of acinic type. The positivity of both components for lysozyme excluded other either primary or metastatic breast lesions mimicking acinic cell carcinoma. Its association with a precursor lesion of a low grade of malignancy may explain the good prognosis of this lesion.
