Lobular carcinoma in situ within a fibroadenoma

J La State Med Soc. 1991 Oct;143(10):33-5.

Abstract

The entity of lobular carcinoma in situ within a fibroadenoma is being increasingly recognized. Clinical examination, mammography, and fine-needle aspiration are the cornerstones in managing breast masses. A patient is presented with three lumps in the left breast. Although the workup was completely negative, pathological examination revealed lobular carcinoma in situ within one of the fibroadenomas.
