DCI - ductal invasive carcinoma

• incidence 70%
• Clinically palpable depending on size
• Pathologically progressive accumulation of cells in terminal ducto-lobular units.

Mammography

• Stellate or circular shadow
• About 1/3 as circular
• G3 – more often axillary lymph nodes- higher recurrence.

LCI - lobular invasive carcinoma

• Incidence 10-13%
• Clinically palpable 70%
• Pathological infiltration of the tissue is more common than mass formation

Mammography

• Spiculous mass
• Broken architectonics
• Parenchymal asymmetry
• Normal mammogram 16-20%
• Microcalcifications are usually absent
