'''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''').
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.

Where:
*ER "high" = diffuse strong staining in >90% of cells.
