  2. Fibrocystic breast changes - Wikipedia

    Atypical ductal hyperplasia is associated with a 2.4-fold risk. [20] In contrast, a New England Journal of Medicine article [ 21 ] states that for women with a strong familial history of breast cancer, the risk of future breast cancer is roughly doubled, independent of histological status.

  3. Lobular carcinoma in situ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobular_carcinoma_in_situ

    Like the cells of atypical lobular hyperplasia and invasive lobular carcinoma, the abnormal cells of LCIS consist of small cells with oval or round nuclei and small nucleoli detached from each other. [12] Mucin-containing signet-ring cells are commonly seen. LCIS generally leaves the underlying architecture intact and recognisable as lobules.

  4. Atypical hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_hyperplasia

    Atypical hyperplasia is a high-risk premalignant lesion of the breast. It is believed that atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a direct precursor for low-grade mammary ductal carcinoma , whereas atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) serves as a risk indicator.

  6. Hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplasia

    Hyperplasia of the breast – "Hyperplastic" lesions of the breast include usual ductal hyperplasia, a focal expansion of the number of cells in a terminal breast duct, and atypical ductal hyperplasia, in which a more abnormal pattern of growth is seen, and which is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer.

  7. Usual ductal hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usual_ductal_hyperplasia

    Usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH) is a benign lesion of the breast wherein cells look very similar to normal. It is a spectrum of changes that can range from minimal stratification of cells to proliferations that are just short of atypical ductal hyperplasia .

  8. Preventive mastectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preventive_mastectomy

    Presence of high-risk breast lesions like lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH). [ 7 ] Having dense breasts or breasts with diffuse microcalcification , as the screening for breast cancer is made difficult.

  9. Atypical ductal hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_ductal_hyperplasia

    Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is the term used for a benign lesion of the breast that indicates an increased risk of breast cancer. [1]The name of the entity is descriptive of the lesion; ADH is characterized by cellular proliferation (hyperplasia) within one or two breast ducts and (histomorphologic) architectural abnormalities, i.e. the cells are arranged in an abnormal or atypical way ...
