The left breast mass was firm tender, measuring 3.1x2.5x2.1cm with irregular margins. Bilateral lymphadenopathy was noted. Sonommamography was suspicious of neoplastic lesion with secondary changes. The FNAC reported as positive for carcinoma cell of bilateral breasts. The bilateral modified radical mastectomy was done. On histopathology, we reported as bilateral breast cancer of Adenoid cystic carcinomasolid, cribriform, tubular pattern, grade III in right breast and ACC with areas of invasive breast carcinoma and neuroendocrine features in left breast.
