Features:  
*Extent criterium: <50% of terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU) is involved.
#Morphologic changes - memory device ''ABCDEF'':
*See ''[[lobular carcinoma in situ]]'' for details.
#*'''A'''typia minimal - usually.
#**Relatively small ~1-2x size lymphocyte.
#*'''B'''orders of cells distinct/visible - ''dyscohesive''.
#*'''C'''lear cytoplasm (focal).
#**May have a signet ring cell-like appearance.
#*'''D'''istend duct.
#*'''E'''ccentric nucleus, usu. round.
#*'''F'''illed ducts.
#**'''No''' luminal spaces - '''key feature'''.
#***Partially filled ducts are ''not'' LCIS.
#Limited extent: <50% of terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU) is involved.
