Infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the breast.

Infiltrating lobular carcinoma: four case illustrations.

Medullary thyroid carcinoma metastatic to breast masquerading as infiltrating lobular carcinoma.

Metastatic tumors to the breast from an extramammary site are rare entities and may present diagnostic difficulties for the surgical pathologist because of frequent histological similarities to primary neoplasms in this location. A case is reported of medullary thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the breast in a 28-year-old woman with a family history of MEN IIA (Sipple's) syndrome. Histological fe...

Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma of the Breast Presenting as Gastrointestinal Obstruction: A Mini Review

One in twelve American women will develop breast cancer, with infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC) comprising approximately 15% of these cases. The incidence of ILC has been increasing over the last several decades. It has been hypothesized that this increase is associated with combined replacement hormonal therapy. Although pathologically distinct from infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC), ILC ...

Lobular carcinoma of the male breast.

BACKGROUND A case of lobular carcinoma in a male breast is described. Lobular carcinoma is a very uncommon histopathologic form of male breast cancer because of the absence of lobules in the normal male breast. The cytoarchitecture of the normal male breast can be deranged in conditions such as Klinefelter's syndrome or as a result of estrogen exposure. Lobular carcinoma of the male breast has ...

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 ...
