description Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the breast is a rare primary breast carcinoma having distinct clinical behavior and a favorable prognosis. It has a characteristic morphology that must be differentiated from metastatic ovarian and pancreatic mucinous adenocarcinoma. The etio-pathogenesis, genetic profile, and treatment of this tumor are controversial. Here, we report a case of primary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the breast in a 61-year-old female. The case is of interest since it is uncommon and has peculiar clinical and morphological features.
