The cytopathological appearances of 14 cases of apocrine breast carcinoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology are described and the features compared to those seen in apocrine cells aspirated from benign cystic and solid lesions. Significant atypia must be observed before a diagnosis of apocrine carcinoma can be entertained.
