4. Ductal carcinoma in situ
► May represent up to 25% of breast carcinoma
► Incapable of capacity to invade:
► basement membrane
► distant metastasis
► Among mammographically detected cancers
► Almost half are DCIS
► High grade of the in situ carcinoma
► predicts multifocality (LCIS >DCIS)
► propensity for invasion(HNG ,ING,LNG)

Ductal Carcinomas In Situ..
•Histopathologically- 4-subtypes-
Comedocarcinoma
Solid or non comedo DCIS
Cribriform DCIS
Micropapillary DCIS
6. Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (LCIS)
► Neoplastic transformation of epithelial cells
► Lining terminal ducts and acini of small size
► Mostly multifocal and bilateral
► Bilateral risk for development of invasive cancer
► Considered primarily a marker for invasion
7. Paget’s Disease of the Breast
► In situ carcinoma of lactiferous ducts with extension to
epidermis
► Involving the nipple and areola
► May present with
► Nipple discharge
► Crusting
► Excoriation of nipple surface
8. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
► An infiltrative malignant epithelial process
► Most common breast carcinoma
► Classified according to histologic appearance as:
Carcinoma not otherwise specified : majority(50-70%)
Special good prognosis subtype
medullary carcinoma,
colloid (mucinous) carcinoma,
tubular carcinoma
Poor prognosis :
inflammatory carcinoma
9. Invasive lobular carcinoma
► Accounts for 5-10% of all breast cancers
► Tend to be bilateral (20%) far more frequently than other subtypes
► Multicentric within same breast
► Have diffusely invasive pattern
► which make both primary and metastasis difficult to detect
► either by physical examination or by radiologic studies
► More frequently metastasize to CSF, serosal surfaces, ovary,
uterus and bone marrow than other subtypes
