Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most prevalent malignancy in the salivary gland and is sporadic in the breast. Here, we report a case of breast mucoepidermoid carcinoma with a rare CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 3-mastermind-like transcriptional coactivator 2 () fusion. A 23-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with a left breast palpable mass.

Background: Pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PMEC) is a rare malignancy that arises from minor salivary glands within the tracheobronchial tree. The clear cell variant of PMEC is exceptionally uncommon and presents notable diagnostic challenges, primarily attributable to its morphological similarity to other tumors containing clear cells.

Case Summary: A 22-year-old male, formerly in good health, came in with a two-month duration of persistent cough and production of sputum.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is exceedingly rare in the breast, with <45 cases reported in the literature. Although estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor/human epidermal growth factor 2 triple-negative, MEC is characterized as a special subtype of breast carcinoma with significantly better prognosis than conventional basal-type tumors. Cutaneous hidradenoma (HA) is considered a benign adnexal neoplasm showing histomorphologic overlap with MEC.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is historically defined by a mix of squamoid, intermediate, and mucous cells, but we have recently encountered several cases lacking immunoreactivity for squamous markers p40, p63, and CK5/6 despite MAML2 fusions. This study will characterise these unique tumours. Ten MEC were collected arising from the parotid gland (n = 4), submandibular gland (n = 2), nasopharynx (n = 1), base of tongue (n = 1), bronchus (n = 1), and trachea (n = 1).
