Invasive Ductal & Lobular
Invasive Ductal
Largest group of invasive breast Ca
Most common- 40-75%
Spiculated Hyperdense region
Invasive Lobular
5-15% of invasive breast tumors
Originates in TDLU
Centrally located
Architectural distortion
Invasive Papillary
Relatively good prognosis
Round, oval or lobulated mass
In SITU
Ductal Carcinoma
High Grade DCIS
Fine Line Calcifications
25-40% Malignant
Low Grade DCIS
Irregular Conspicuous Calcifications
Classified as BI-Rads 2-4
Usually presented as amorphus calcifications
20% Malignant
Lobular Carcinoma
Usually no mammographic calcifications
Precursor for development of invasive carcinoma
