Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a risk factor and a nonobligate precursor of breast
carcinoma. The relative risk of invasive carcinoma after classic LCIS diagnosis is …

Purpose: Classic lobular carcinomas (CLC) account for 10% to 15% of all breast cancers. At
the genetic level, CLCs show recurrent physical loss of chromosome16q coupled with the …

Infiltrating lobular breast cancer (ILBC) is the most common special breast cancer subtype.

This study was undertaken to determine the morphologic features and frequency of putative
precursor lesions involved in the development of some pure forms of special types and low …

Lobular neoplasia (LN) is a term that encompasses both lobular carcinoma in situ and

Purpose: In cases of multiple non–small cell lung cancer, clinicians must decide whether
patients have independent tumors or metastases and tailor treatment accordingly. Decisions …

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and lobular carcinoma in situ characteristically show loss of
E-cadherin expression and so immunohistochemistry for E-cadherin is being increasingly …

Lobular carcinoma is a special type of breast cancer that shows distinct clinical presentation,
morphologic and molecular features, and clinical behavior, and its incidence is rising in …

Pleomorphic lobular carcinomas (PLC) of the breast display histological features associated
with classic invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), yet they also exhibit more conspicuous …
