==Is it ductal neoplasia?==
===FEHUT versus ADH versus DCIS===
*Breast duct lumen with too many cells; this is common problem is breast pathology.<ref name=Ref_BP167-8>{{Ref BP|167-8}}</ref> 
**The general DDx for this scenario is: ''EHUT'' versus ''ADH'' versus ''DCIS''.
Notes:
*EHUT = epithelial hyperplasia of the usual type, [[AKA]] ''florid epithelial hyperplasia of the usual type'' (FEHUT).
*ADH = atypical ductal hyperplasia.
*DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ.
====Tabular comparison====
Comparison of EHUT, ADH and DCIS (memory device: ''CLEAN'' = cell uniformity, luminal spaces, extent/size, arch., nuclei):
{| class="wikitable"
| || '''EHUT''' || '''ADH''' || '''DCIS'''
|-
| '''Cellular composition''' || varied || focal uniformity || uniform
|-
| '''Lumina''' || slits/irregular spaces; <br>cells haphazardly <br>arranged around lumen || irregular spaces, no slits || circular "punched-out"; <br>cells size-by-size + <br>equally spaced @ interface
|-
| '''Extent''' || usually lobulocentric || limited extent || extensive
|-
| '''Architecture''' || irregular/swirling || DCIS-like || DCIS architecture (solid, <br>cribriform, papillary, micropapillary)
|-
| '''Nuclei (intranuclear<br>spacing)''' || variable || hyperchromatic<br>& uniform || evenly spaced
|-
|}
Treatment - implications:
*EHUT - nothing; EHUT is benign.
*ADH - simple excision, i.e. lumpectomy.
*DCIS - excision (lumpectomy) + radiation.
*Invasive ductal carcinoma - excision with sentinel lymph node disection<ref>Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: What Breast Cancer Patients Need to Know. cancernews.com.

Definitions:
*EHUT = epithelial hyperplasia of the usual type, aka ''florid epithelial hyperplasia of the usual type'' (FEHUT).
*ADH = atypical ductal hyperplasia.
*DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ.
*Mnemonic ''CLEAN'' = cell uniformity, luminal spaces, extent/size, arch., nuclei.
**Cellular composition:
***EHUT = varied.
***ADH = focal uniformity.
***DCIS = uniform.
**Lumina:
***EHUT = slits/irregular spaces.
***ADH = irregular spaces, no slits.
***DCIS = circular "punched-out".
**Extent:
***EHUT = usually lobulocentric.
***ADH = limited extent.
***DCIS = extensive.
**Architecture:
***EHUT = irregular/swirling.
***ADH = DCIS-like.
***DCIS = DCIS architecture (solid, cribriform, comedo, papillary, micropapillary).
**Nuclei:
***EHUT = variable.
***ADH = hyperchromatic + uniform.
***DCIS = evenly spaced.
