The topic Mammary Intraepithelial Neoplasia you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia of Breast.

Quick Summary:

  • Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia of Breast is an atypical condition of breast which is often diagnosed under the microscope by a pathologist. The condition is often detected during routine mammogram screening and is seen in both men and women
  • The condition is diagnosed when the pathologist is unable to make a diagnosis of low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This often happens when the volume of involved breast tissue is insufficient to make a diagnosis of low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ in a core biopsy or small lumpectomies
  • There are no specific predisposing factors known for Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia of Breast. The cause of this abnormality may be due to genetic factors and estrogen hormone irregularities
  • There are no significant signs and symptoms of Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia of Breast noted. However, there is a slight increase in overall risk for breast cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ)
  • A complete excision of the lesion is usually recommended. The prognosis of Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia of Breast on its removal is generally excellent
