Abstract
Two cases of primary breast carcinoma morphologically identical to low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary gland origin occurred. This article represents the 1st description of this tumor type in the breast. Both lesions were well circumscribed, wholly or partially cystic, and composed of intimately associated, well-differentiated squamous and mucinous glandular epithelium. These may represent an indolent tumor type in the breast analogous to their behavior in the salivary gland.
