Breast cancer after prophylactic mastectomy for Lobular Carcinoma-In-Situ (LCIS) - an unusual case
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bilateral risk reducing mastectomy results in the greatest breast cancer risk reduction but is an irreversible intervention. Total mastectomy can never remove all breast tissue and there is always a small risk of breast cancer. Regular follow up and surveillance is beneficial. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with axillary lymph node metastatic breast cancer after risk reducing mastectomy in which only Lobular Carcinoma-in-Situ (LCIS) was present on histopathology.

متن کاملLobular Breast Cancer: Common Problems in Diagnosing LCIS in Core Needle Biopsies
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) of the breast may exhibit a spectrum of morphologic growth patterns and may also colonize underl ying benign breast lesions. This diversity in appearance can create diagnostic challenges, especially in core needle biopsy specimens. Some LCIS variants may mimic ductal carcinoma in situ or invas ive carcinoma.

متن کاملTreatment and survival outcomes of lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast: a SEER population based study
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) represents 5.3% of in situ specimens, and is thought to carry a low risk for developing to the invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC). There is still no standard care approach for patients with LCIS. We aimed to define the impacts of surgical and radiation intervention on survival outcomes of LCIS. LCIS cases from 2004 to 2013 of the recent Surveillance, Epidemiol...
