NCIt definition : Breast ductal carcinoma in situ characterized by the presence of neoplastic cells
with severe dysplasia and the formation of micropapillary, cribriform, or solid patterns.
The nuclei show marked pleomorphism and have prominent nucleoli. Mitotic activity
is usually present. There is comedo-type of necrosis present in the ducts. The necrotic
debris is surrounded by pleomorphic malignant cells.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A condition in which cells that look very different from normal cells under
a microscope are found in the lining of a breast duct. There may also be areas of
dead cells in the abnormal tissue. The abnormal cells have not spread outside the
duct to other tissues in the breast. Grade III ductal carcinoma in situ tends to grow
more quickly than grade I or grade II ductal carcinoma in situ and is more likely
to come back or spread to other tissues. Also called grade III DCIS, high-grade DCIS,
and high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ.;
