Abstract
Breast cancers classified as below types:
- Non-Invasive
A: (DCIS): Ductal Carcinoma B: (LCIS): Lobular Carcinoma
- Infiltrating
In this article I decided to describe Non-Invasive types of Breast cancer and to compare clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics of two types of Non-Invasive Breast cancers.
Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS):
Palpable mass is not common in early presentation of this type of tumor in physical examination and radiography, but in late diagnosis, we can find mass and discharge.
This type, specially, when is well differentiated shows Estrogen receptors and the prognosis of Ductal carcinoma in situ is very good. We can find calcifications in radiography of this type of Breast cancer.
Lobular Cell Carcinoma (LCIS):
Pathology shows mono morph cells with Homogenous pattern. We can see mucinous Intracellular vacuoles. (Signet Ring Cells)
Calcifications is rare in radiography, we should know that this type of Breast cancer does not change lobular pattern of Breast.
In lobular cell carcinoma mass is not seen.
We dedicate breast cancers clinical and radiological concepts in detail at oral presentation time.
