Abstract
Despite the earlier description by Ewing [1], the term lobular carcinoma is largely credited to Foote and Stewart [2] who, in 1941, published their seminal paper describing a detailed morphologic analysis of a distinctive subgroup of in situ carcinoma of the breast. Almost 40 years after the first description of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), Haagensen et al. [3] published their own experience with this disease and concluded that “lobular neoplasia” was a more appropriate term for this lesion, as few cases appeared to progress to invasive carcinoma. With increasing recognition of LCIS, it became apparent that less well-developed forms were more frequently seen in the breast. Page et al. [4] used the term atypical lobular hyperplasia for these lesions.
