Microscopic evaluation
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) typically display monomorphic, loosely cohesive, slightly enlarged and evenly spaced cells that fill acini.[1] Cells have indistinct cell borders, pale cytoplasm, and uniform small nuclei with evenly distributed chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli.[1]
When unsure, perform immunohistochemistry for E-cadherin and p120:
E-cadherin is negative in lobular carcinoma in situ.
p120 has a cytoplasmic staining in lobular carcinoma in situ.
In contrast, both E-cadherin (left image below) and p120 (right) have a membranous staining pattern in ductal carcinoma in situ:
