Clinicopathologic Features of Pleomorphic Invasive Lobular Carcinoma: Comparison with Classic Invasive Lobular Carcinoma

Invasive Pleomorphic Lobular Carcinoma of the Breast: Clinicopathologic Characteristics and Prognosis Compared with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

PURPOSE Invasive pleomorphic lobular carcinoma (IPLC) is a very rare and distinct morphological variant of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), characterized by nuclear atypia and pleomorphism contrasted with the cytologic uniformity of ILC. This study evaluated clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of IPLC compared with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). METHODS We retrospectively revie...

Relapse of invasive lobular carcinoma.

Invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast.

The classical pattern of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) has become well established since the tumour was first designated in the 1940's. It is a distinct histological type of breast cancer, yet the incidence rates accumulated from the literature are widely divergent and vary from 0.7-20 per cent,' suggesting the criteria for diagnosis are not well defined. Martinez and Azzopardil in the only ...

Invasive lobular carcinoma with extracellular mucin as a distinct variant of lobular carcinoma: a case report

The differences between invasive lobular and ductal carcinomas affect the diagnostic and therapeutic management for patients with breast cancer. In most cases, this can be accomplished because of distinct histomorphologic features. However, occasionally, this task may become quite difficult, in particular when dealing with the variants of infiltrating lobular carcinoma. Lobular carcinoma has be...

Expression of Sarcosine Metabolism-Related Proteins in Invasive Lobular Carcinoma: Comparison to Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

PURPOSE The aims of this study were to compare the expression of sarcosine metabolism-related proteins between invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and to determine the implications of these results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue microarrays were constructed, containing 30 samples from normal breast tissue, 114 samples from patients with ILC, and 692 samples fro...
