Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare neoplasm and accounts for 0.1[%] to 0.4[%] of all breast carcinomas. This is a description of two clinical cases that describe a rare presentation with an uncommon clinical course. The patients are 34 and 44 year old women, both with a confirmed diagnosis of ACC of the breast. The ACC of the breast predominantly grows in postmenopausal women. However, both patients are still fertile. Commonly it has a favorable prognosis and a rare presentation of metastasis. Nevertheless, in both cases, distant dissemination and an aggressive course of the disease was observed.
