=Ductal neoplasia=
This category includes:
#Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH).
#Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
*These entities (ADH, DCIS) have some over lap.
*The difference ''is'':
*#The degree of nuclear atypia; high grade is DCIS.
*#The extent; small lesions are ADH, large lesions (low-grade) DCIS.

=Lobular neoplasia=
==Overview==
Includes:
#Atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH).
#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''.

*Cells distend the duct.
*Dyscohesive - distinct cell border visible.
*Clear cytoplasm (focally); may have signet ring cell-like appearance.
*Eccentrically placed round nucleus,
**Usually minimal atypia, relatively small ~1-2x size lymphocyte.
**+/-Nucleolus.
