Abstract

Mucocele-like tumor(MLT) is a rare benign neoplasm occurring in the breast. Differentiation of MLT from mucinous carcinoma of the breast on the basis of fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimens is difficult, and in Korea, the radiologic findings of these lesions have not been reported. We describe a case of MLT of the breast, and review of the literature.
