Overview

NCI Definition: A non-invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast characterized by a proliferation of monomorphic cells completely filling the lumina. The overall lobular architecture is preserved. It is frequently multifocal (90% in some series) and bilateral. It seldom becomes invasive; however there is an increased risk of infiltrating ductal adenocarcinoma. [1]

Breast lobular carcinoma in situs most frequently harbor alterations in PIK3CA, TP53, CDH1, KDM6A, and EP300 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Breast Lobular Carcinoma In Situ

PIK3CA Mutation, CDH1 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Mutation, and TP53 Missense are the most common alterations in breast lobular carcinoma in situ [2].
