 ==Columnar cell change==
-*Abbreviated ''[[CCC]]''.
+{{Main|Columnar cell change of the breast}}
-*[[AKA]] ''blunt duct adenosis''.
-===General===
-*Columnar cell change is associated with (benign) calcification - '''key point'''.
-===Microscopic===
-Features:
-*Secretory cells (line gland lumen) have columnar morphology.
-*May have "apical snouts".
-**Blebs or round balls eosinophilic material appear to be adjacent to the cell at their luminal surface.
-**The snouts are attached to the cell-- appear as round ball only in the plane of section.
-*Cytoplasm +/-eosinophilia.
-*Often purple luminal calcifications
-DDx:
-*Flat epithelial atypia (>2 cell layers).{{Fact}}
-**If the columnar cells shows low to intermediate grade atypia the process is termed "flat epithelial atypia"
-**If higher grade atyia is present the lesion is termed "flat DCIS" (clinging carcinoma)
