Invasive Pleomorphic Lobular Carcinoma of the Breast: Clinicopathologic Characteristics and Prognosis Compared with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

PURPOSE Invasive pleomorphic lobular carcinoma (IPLC) is a very rare and distinct morphological variant of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), characterized by nuclear atypia and pleomorphism contrasted with the cytologic uniformity of ILC. This study evaluated clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of IPLC compared with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). METHODS We retrospectively revie...

Pancreatic metastasis from invasive pleomorphic lobular carcinoma of the breast: a rare case report

BACKGROUND Invasive pleomorphic lobular carcinoma (PLC) is an aggressive subtype of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast, which has its own histopathological and biological features. The metastatic patterns for PLC are distinct from those of invasive ductal carcinoma. In addition, pancreatic metastasis from PLC is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report a rare case of a 48-year-old wo...

Invasive pleomorphic lobular carcinoma, negative for ER, PR and Her/2neu--a case report.

Pleomorphic variant of lobular carcinoma is a recently described variant of invasive lobular carcinoma. It is reported to be positive for estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors and over express Her2/neu in most cases. We present here a case of invasive variant of pleomorphic lobular carcinoma with coexisting classic and pleomorphic variants of lobular carcinoma in situ along with focal d...

Pleomorphic Lobular Carcinoma in a Male Breast: A Rare Occurrence

Carcinoma of male breast is uncommon as it accounts for 0.7% of total breast cancer. The pathology of male breast cancer is remarkably similar to that of cancers seen in women. The same histological subtypes of invasive cancer are present, although papillary carcinomas (both invasive and in situ) are more common and lobular carcinomas are less common. The predominant histological type, in males...
