Invasive lobular carcinoma, abbreviated ILC, is the second most common form of Invasive breast cancer.
It may be referred to as lobular carcinoma; however, this may lead to confusion with lobular carcinoma in situ.
General
Microscopic
Features:
- "Single file" - cell line-up in a row.
- Cell should not be cohesive -- lymphoma should briefly come to mind.
- primary lymphoma of the breast exists... but it is extremely rare.
- Cell should not be cohesive -- lymphoma should briefly come to mind.
- NO gland formation.
- If it forms glands... it is more likely NST.
- May have signet ring morphology.
- NO desmoplastic reaction, i.e. the stroma surrounding the tumour cells should look benign and undisturbed.
Note:
- Commonly have low grade nuclear features.
DDx:
- Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast with lobular features.
- Poorly differentiated carcinoma.
- LCIS.
- Malignant melanoma.
Subclassification
- Classic lobular carcinoma.
- Low nuclear grade - NO significant variation of nucleus size.
- Pleomorphic lobular carcinoma.
- Significant nuclear atypia.
Note:
- Some pathologist grade lobular carcinoma like other types and avoid the term "pleomorphic lobular carcinoma."[3]
Other variants:
- Histiocytoid.[4]

IHC
Features:
- E-cadherin -ve.
- ER and PR +ve.
- HER2 -ve.
- CK7 +ve.
Others:
- CK20 -ve.
- Beta-catenin -ve/+ve (~46% completely negative[5]).
