===General===
{{Main|Invasive lobular carcinoma}}
*May be associated with a CDH1 mutation - seen in diffuse type [[stomach|gastric]] cancer.<ref>URL: [http://www.asco.org/ascov2/Meetings/Abstracts?&vmview=abst_detail_view&confID=65&abstractID=33006 http://www.asco.org/ascov2/Meetings/Abstracts?&vmview=abst_detail_view&confID=65&abstractID=33006].

===Microscopic===
Features:
*"Single file" - cell line-up in a row.
**Cell should not be cohesive -- [[lymphoma]] should briefly come to mind.
***primary lymphoma of the breast exists... but it is extremely rare.
*NO gland formation.
**If it forms glands... it is more likely NST.
*May have [[signet ring cell|signet ring]] morphology.
*NO [[desmoplastic reaction]], i.e. the stroma surrounding the tumour cells should look benign and undisturbed.
 
Note:
*Commonly have low grade nuclear features.

====Subclassification====
*Classic lobular carcinoma.
**Low nuclear grade - NO significant variation of nucleus size.
*Pleomorphic lobular carcinoma.
**Significant nuclear atypia.
 
Note:
*Some pathologist grade lobular carcinoma like other types and avoid the term "pleomorphic lobular carcinoma."<ref>MUA. Jan 22, 2009.</ref>
