Five pregnant women with dominant breast masses underwent fine-needle aspiration cytology. Fine-needle aspiration cytology findings of the three patients with benign pregnancy adenomas and the two patients with ductal carcinoma are described. More extensive use of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the evaluation of breast masses in pregnant patients may decrease delays in diagnosis of breast cancer in pregnant women.
