Invasive lobular breast carcinoma
MONDO:0005051An infiltrating lobular adenocarcinoma of the breast. The malignant cells lack cohesion and are arranged individually or in a linear manner (Indian files), or as narrow trabeculae within the stroma. The malignant cells are usually smaller than those of ductal carcinoma, are less pleomorphic, and have fewer mitotic figures.
Also known as: lobular carcinoma, lobular carcinoma (morphologic abnormality), lobular carcinoma NOS (morphologic abnormality), lobular carcinoma of the breast, classic invasive lobular carcinoma, infiltrating lobular adenocarcinoma, infiltrating lobular breast carcinoma, infiltrating lobular carcinoma of breast
