Florid epithelial hyperplasia
Diagnosis in short

Proliferative fibrocystic changes (florid epithelial hyperplasia together with fibrocystic breast changes). H&E stain.

Synonyms florid epithelial hyperplasia of the usual type, usual ductal hyperplasia, moderate epithelial hyperplasia

LM breast glands with more than four cell layers above the basement membrane with irregular cell spacing (e.g. streaming), slit-like lumina (esp. at the periphery of the duct), no DCIS-like architecture (not cribriform, not papillary, not micropapillary, not solid), no nuclear atypia - usually no nucleoli
LM DDx mild epithelial hyperplasia, atypical ductal hyperplasia, cribriform ductal carcinoma in situ
IHC ER "low" (see below), CK5 "high" (see below)
Site breast

Associated Dx fibrocystic breast changes (FEH + FCC = proliferative fibrocystic changes)
Clinical history usually an incidental finding
Prevalence common
Prognosis benign, increased risk of breast cancer

Florid epithelial hyperplasia, abbreviated FEH, is a common benign breast pathology finding that is associated with a mild increased risk of breast cancer.

It is also known as florid epithelial hyperplasia of the usual type (abbreviated FEHUT) and usual ductal hyperplasia (abbreviated UDH).

Confusingly, it may be referred to as epithelial hyperplasia, term that is best avoided, as it could lead to confusion with mild epithelial hyperplasia.

Moderate epithelial hyperplasia redirects to this article, as it is usually lumped with FEH. Proliferative fibrocystic changes (abbreviated PFCC) redirects to this article.

General

Note:

  • Moderate epithelial hyperplasia redirects to this section.
    • It is generally not separated from FEH, as the prognosis is thought to be the same.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Breast glands with more than four cell layers above the basement membrane - key feature.
  • Irregular cell spacing; streaming.
  • Slit-like lumina, esp. at the periphery of the duct.
  • No DCIS-like architecture (not cribriform, not papillary, not micropapillary, not solid).
  • No nuclear atypia - usually no nucleoli.

Memory device CLEAN:

  • Cell spacing is irregular, Lumina are slit-like, Extent is less than 2 mm or 2 ducts, Architecture not DCIS-like, Nuclear atypia not present.

DDx:

Images

IHC

Features:[3]

  • ER "low".
  • CK5 "high".

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.

Note:

  • ADH/DCIS:
    • ER "high"
    • CK5 "low".
