Fixation
Generally 10% neutral buffered formalin.
Presentations
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]
Differential diagnosis
The main differential diagnosis is ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
In DCIS, the cells are cohesive and have high grade atypia.[2]
LCIS typically fills smaller lobules rather than ducts, but DCIS can display lobular cancerization as shown at bottom of image.[image 1]
When unsure, perform immunohistochemistry for E-cadherin and p120:
In contrast, both E-cadherin (left image below) and p120 (right) have a membranous staining pattern in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
Biomarkers
Generally perform immunohistochemistry for estrogen and progesterone receptors and calculate the percentage of positive tumor cells.
Microscopic report
It should contain:[3]
- Type of resection or biopsy, and location
- Results of any supplementary studies performed
- Extent
However, grading and staging is not applicable. (Margins of excision are not relevant)
