Overview

NCI Definition: An adenocarcinoma of the breast arising from the lobules. This is a relatively uncommon carcinoma, represents approximately 10% of the breast adenocarcinomas and is often bilateral or multifocal. [1]

Lobular breast carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in CDH1, PIK3CA, TP53, CCND1, and ERBB2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Lobular Breast Carcinoma

PIK3CA Mutation, CDH1fs, CDH1 Mutation, PIK3CA Codon 1047 Missense, and PIK3CA H1047R are the most common alterations in lobular breast carcinoma [2].
