Breast cancer types
| Cancer type | Histopathology | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Invasive ductal carcinoma | Carcinomatous cells are seen below the basement membrane of lactiferous ducts. Otherwise, there are no specific histologic characteristics, essentially making it a diagnosis of exclusion.[1] | File:Invasive ductal carcinoma, with occasional entrapped normal ducts.jpg |
| Ductal carcinoma in situ | Malignant epithelial cells confined to the ductal system of the breast, without invasion through the basement membrane.[2] | File:DCIS - Intraductal carcinoma of the breast.jpg |
| Invasive lobular carcinoma | The "classic" pattern is round or ovoid cells with little cytoplasm in a single-file infiltrating pattern, sometimes concentrically giving a targetoid pattern. | File:Classic Invasive Lobular Carcinoma of the Breast (6813147194).jpg |
