Infiltrating lobular breast cancer: histological and immunohistochemical characteristics

摘要

Lobular carcinoma ranks second among most frequent tumors of the breast. Metastases to the lymph nodes and distant organs are one of the most important prognostic factors. 60% regional lymph node metastases were morphologically diagnosed during surgical removal of the tumor. Distant metastases rate was 1% at the beginning of the treatment and reached 10% within 5-year follow-up. Cases of secondary uterus and epiploon lobular carcinoma are rare and tumor location in the breast should be proved.
