**Architecture suggestive of DCIS - see ''[[Subtypes of DCIS]]''.

====Subtypes of DCIS====
Subtypes are based on architecture:
*Solid.
**No spaces between cells.
*Cribriform.
**Honeycomb-like appearance: circular holes.
**"Cookie cutter" appearance/"punched-out" appearance/"Roman bridges" -- cells surround the circular holes.
*Papillary.
**Papillae with fibrovascular cores.
*Micropapillary.
**Small papillae without fibrovascular cores.
**Have "drum stick" shape.
 
NOTE: ''comedonecrosis'' - used to be considered a separate subtype -- essentially ''solid'' type DCIS with [[necrosis]].
 
====Grading DCIS====
Graded 1-3 (low-high)<ref>URL: [http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/breast/dcis/ http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/breast/dcis/]. Accessed on: 4 August 2011.</ref> - compare lesional nuclei to one another.
*Grade 1:
**Nuclei 2-3x size of RBC.
**No necrosis.
*Grade 2:
**Nuclei 2-3x size of RBC.
**+/-Necrosis.
*Grade 3:
**Nuclei >3x size of RBC.
**Necrosis usually present.
 
Notes:
*It is often hard to find RBCs when you want 'em. DCIS is pleomorphic.
*If no RBCs are present to compare with compare the nuclei to one another.
*If you see nuclei >3x larger than their neigbour you're ready to call DCIS Grade 3.
 
====Size criteria for low-grade DCIS====
ADH is diagnosed if the lesion is small - specifically:<ref name=Ref_BP168>{{Ref BP|168}}</ref><ref>{{Ref DCHH|258}}</ref>
# < Two membrane-bound spaces.
# < 2 mm extent.
 
The treatment is similar; ADH and DCIS are both excised. 
 
The differences are:
*DCIS is cancer, i.e. this has life insurance implications.
*Radiation treatment - DCIS is irradiated; ADH does ''not'' get radiation.

Non-invasive breast carcinoma is a type of breast cancer and a common entity... since the introduction of radiologic breast screening.

Viewed simplistically, it can neatly be divided into the discussion of two entities:

  1. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
  2. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).

Invasive breast cancer is dealt with in the article invasive breast cancer. An introduction to the breast is found in the breast pathology article.

Ductal neoplasia

Overview

This category includes:

  1. Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH).
  2. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

The difference between ADH and DCIS is:

  1. The degree of nuclear atypia; high grade is DCIS.
  2. The extent; small lesions are ADH, large lesions (low-grade) DCIS.

Is it ductal neoplasia?

FEHUT versus ADH versus DCIS

  • Breast duct lumen with too many cells; this is common problem is breast pathology.[1]
    • The general DDx for this scenario is: FEHUT versus ADH versus DCIS.

Notes:

Tabular comparison - histomorphology

Comparison of FEHUT, ADH and DCIS (memory device: CLEAN = cell spacing, luminal spaces, extent/size, arch., nuclei):

Morphology FEHUT ADH DCIS
Cell spacing varied, streaming focal uniformity uniform
Lumina slits/irregular spaces;
cells haphazardly
arranged around lumen 		irregular spaces, no slits circular "punched-out";
cells side-by-side +
equally spaced @ interface
Extent usually lobulocentric limited extent extensive
Architecture irregular/swirling DCIS-like DCIS architecture (solid,
cribriform, papillary, micropapillary)
Nuclei variable, no nucleolus hyperchromatic
& uniform, usu. no nucleolus 		evenly spaced +/-nucleolus

Treatment - implications:

  • FEHUT - nothing; FEHUT is benign.
  • ADH - simple excision, i.e. lumpectomy.
  • DCIS - excision (lumpectomy) + radiation.
  • Invasive ductal carcinoma - excision with sentinel lymph node biopsy (for staging)[2] and radiation.
  • Positive sentinel node - systemic chemotherapy. (???)

IHC

Usual ductal hyperplasia (AKA FEHUT) vs. ADH/DCIS:[3][4]

  • FEHUT: ER-low/CK5-high profile.
  • ADH/DCIS: ER-high/CK5-low.

Where:

  • ER-high = diffuse strong staining in >90% of cells.
  • CK5-high = mosaic pattern of staining in >20% of cells
  • CK5-low = absent or staining in <20% of cells.

Atypical ductal hyperplasia

  • Abbreviated ADH.
Main article: Atypical ductal hyperplasia

Ductal carcinoma in situ

  • Abbreviated DCIS.
Main article: Ductal carcinoma in situ

Lobular neoplasia

Overview

Includes:

  1. Atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH).
  2. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).
  • These entities (ALH, LCIS) are near identical from a histomorphologic perspective.
  • The difference is extent of involvement:
    • ALH <50% of terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU) is involved.
    • LCIS >=50% of TDLU is involved.

Atypical lobular hyperplasia

  • Abbreviated ALH.
Main article: Atypical lobular hyperplasia

Lobular carcinoma in situ

  • Abbreviated LCIS.

General

  • Management is currently some matter of debate.
    • Association of Breast Surgery (UK) guidelines recommend excision of LCIS on biopsy,[5] as does a smaller (US) study.[6]
    • In the UK, most surgeons (~60%) excise LCIS seen on biopsy; however, a significant minority considers followup appropriate.[5]
  • Not detected radiologically - it is an incidental pathologic finding.
  • The precursor to invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast.

Microscopic

Features[7][8] - memory device ABCDEF:

  • Atypia minimal - usually.
    • Relatively small ~1-2x size lymphocyte.
  • Borders of cells distinct/visible - dyscohesive.
  • Clear cytoplasm (focal).
    • May have a signet ring cell-like appearance.
  • Distend duct.
  • Eccentric nucleus, usu. round.
  • Filled ducts.
    • No luminal spaces - key feature.
      • Partially filled ducts are not LCIS.

DDx:

Images:

Subclassification[8]

  • Non-PLCIS.
    • Type A.
      • Nucleus 1-1.5x lymphocyte.
      • No nucleolus.
    • Type B.
      • Nucleus ~2x lymphocyte.
      • Nucleolus present.
  • PLCIS (pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ).

DDx:

IHC

  • E-cadherin -ve or incomplete membrane staining.
  • p120 catenin +ve cytoplasmic.[9]
    • Membranous staining in DCIS.
