A case of argyrophilic mucinous carcinoma of the breast in a 75-year-old female is reported.The cytological findings are discussed in comparison with a non-argyrophilic case.<BR>The cytological features of argyrophilic mucinous carcinoma were cluster formation with loss of cell connectivity in the peripheral region, plump cytoplasm and nuclei with a smooth contour.<BR>In contrast, non-argyrophilic mucinous carcinoma formed small clusters with well-preserved cellular connectivity. Immunochemical and electron microscopic observation revealed endocrine features, such as positive endocrine markers and dense-cored granules in the case of argyrophilic carcinoma, whereas non-argyrophilic carcinoma showed no endocrine features.<BR>Argyrophilic mucinous carcinoma of the breast appears to be characterized by abundant mucus production and endocrine features, but its histological appearance was different from that of conventional carcinoid tumors of other organs.
