Preferred Label : carcinoma, lobular;
MeSH definition : A infiltrating (invasive) breast cancer, relatively uncommon, accounting for only
5%-10% of breast tumors in most series. It is often an area of ill-defined thickening
in the breast, in contrast to the dominant lump characteristic of ductal carcinoma.
It is typically composed of small cells in a linear arrangement with a tendency to
grow around ducts and lobules. There is likelihood of axillary nodal involvement with
metastasis to meningeal and serosal surfaces. (DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles
& Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1205); A type of BREAST CANCER where the abnormal malignant cells form in the lobules, or
milk-producing glands, of the breast.;
MeSH synonym : lobular carcinoma; carcinomas, lobular; lobular carcinomas;
MeSH annotation : /blood supply /chem /second /secret /ultrastruct permitted; coord IM with BREAST NEOPLASMS
(IM); coordinate IM with BREAST NEOPLASMS (IM);
