Relapse of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma

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 ...

Clonality of lobular carcinoma in situ and synchronous invasive lobular carcinoma.

BACKGROUND Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) of the breast is considered a marker for an increased risk of carcinoma in both breasts. However, the frequent association of LCIS with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) suggests a precursor-product relation. The possible genomic relation between synchronous LCIS and ILC was analyzed using the technique of array-based comparative genomic hybridization ...

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...

Relevance of systems biological approach in the differential diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma & invasive ductal carcinoma

Breast cancer is a malignant neoplasm originating from breast tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. ILCs and IDCs vary from each other with respect to various histological, biological and clinical features. Remarkably, ductal tumors tending to form glandular structures, whereas lobular tumors are less cohesive and tends to inva...
