摘要:
AbstractWe describe the cytomorphology of seven cases of metaplastic carcinoma of the breast studied by fine‐needle aspiration cytology and by histology. All seven cases contained foci of ductual adenocarcinoma.

Both carcinomatous and metaplastic components were present on smears in four cases (57%). Thus in three cases (43%), the diagnosis was not possible on smear material alone. Differential diagnostic considerations are discus
