atypical lobular hyperplasia


Also found in: Acronyms.

atypical lobular hyperplasia

A relatively uncommon lesion of the female breast characterised by lobules containing uniform dyshesive epithelial cells with eccentric nuclei, often accompanied by intracytoplasmic mucin vacuoles (so-called“private acini”); the surrounding myoepithelial cell layer is retained. It is a non-palpable lesion seen in 1% to 3.6% of female breasts and carries a general increase in the risk of future breast cancer.

In contrast, breast cancer risk in women with atypical lobular hyperplasia remained steady over time.
Atypical lobular hyperplasia has higher breast Ca risk than ductal
That worked out to an adjusted odds ratio for developing breast cancer of 2.76 for women with atypical ductal hyperplasia, 5.24 for those with atypical lobular hyperplasia, and 8.12 for women with both histologic abnormalities, she continued.
Breast cancer risk differs by subtype of atypical hyperplasia
An MMP-9-positive / ADAM 12-negative urine sample conferred a 40% chance that the patient had LCIS and a 25% chance that she had atypical ductal hyperplasia or atypical lobular hyperplasia.
Urine test enhances breast ca risk picture
An MMP-9-positive/ADAM12-negative urine sample conferred a 40% chance that the patient had LCIS and a 25% chance that she had atypical ductal hyperplasia or atypical lobular hyperplasia. And a sample that proved negative for both biomarkers was associated with a zero probability of atypical hyperplasia.
Urine test promising for assessing breast cancer risk
Atypical lobular hyperplasia was diagnosed when acini in a lobular unit had less than 50% involvement by a monotonous population of epithelial cells showing classic lobular characteristics, including discohesive cells with small, round nuclei, often containing perinuclear vacuoles.
