Abstract
Breast lesions associated with extracellular mucin production are uncommon and constitute a wide spectrum of lesions ranging from benign cyst to mucinous carcinoma. Intracytoplasmic mucin can be seen rarely in benign metaplasias but is a common finding in invasive and in situ carcinomas. In this article, we discuss the differential diagnosis of breast lesions associated with mucin production and other entities that show histologic changes that mimic mucin production.
