'''Atypical lobular hyperplasia''', abbreviated '''ALH''', a pre-malignant change in the breast characterized cellular proliferation and cellular dyscohesion. | |||
It can be seen as the pre-cursor to the pre-cursor ([[lobular carcinoma in situ]]). | |||
==General== | |||
*May occur with ''ductal involvement by cells of atypical lobular hyperplasia'' (abbreviated ''DIALH'').<ref name=pmid3343034>{{Cite journal | last1 = Page | first1 = DL. | last2 = Dupont | first2 = WD. | last3 = Rogers | first3 = LW. | title = Ductal involvement by cells of atypical lobular hyperplasia in the breast: a long-term follow-up study of cancer risk. | journal = Hum Pathol | volume = 19 | issue = 2 | pages = 201-7 | month = Feb | year = 1988 | doi = | PMID = 3343034 }}</ref> | |||
**ALH with DIALH has a risk of developing breast cancer that is similar to [[LCIS]]. | |||
