infiltrating lobular carcinoma and infiltrating duct carcinoma of the breast," British Journal of Cancer, vol.
Multiple studies have shown
infiltrating lobular carcinoma more frequently metastasizes to the GI tract compared to infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) [2, 8, 12-14].

Infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC) accounts for 7-10% of breast malignancies.
One patient showed
infiltrating lobular carcinoma. Postoperative histopathological evaluation revealed 39 cases (81.3%) were of infiltrating ductal carcinoma (not otherwise specified) type, 4 cases (8.3%) were of lobular carcinoma and 5 cases (10.4%) were of medullary carcinoma.
[35] Of the 268 malignant lesions, most common diagnosis was infiltrating duct carcinoma (N = 229), followed by medullary carcinoma (N = 2) and mucinous carcinoma,
infiltrating lobular carcinoma, sarcomatoid carcinoma, invasive papillary carcinoma, and secretory carcinoma with one case each [Table 3].

infiltrating lobular carcinoma. Mod Pathol.
Besides, 85 (85%) cases were of Infiltrating ductal carcinomas (IDC) NOS, (not otherwise specified); 06 (6%) were
Infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC); 3 (3%) were Metaplastic carcinoma (MC) and 2 (2%) were found to be Tubulolobular.
There were two false negative MRIs in this group of 59 patients with known cancer: one case of multifocal
infiltrating lobular carcinoma and one case of DCIS.
Lobular carcinoma of the breast arises from the lobular and terminal duct epithelium.[2]
Infiltrating lobular carcinoma accounts for approximately 5% to 10% of all breast cancers.[18,19] Among all types of breast cancer, it is most often multicentric (ie, multiple tumors in more than one quadrant) and bilateral.

infiltrating lobular carcinoma," Virchows Archiv, vol.
The loss of expression of the E-cadherin in
infiltrating lobular carcinoma results in the cell spreading and dissemination.
