Lesioni a cellule colonnari CON atipie (FEA/DIN1A) Lesioni a rischio evolutivo? Escissione sempre? SI ?

The limited available data suggest that when atypia is encountered in a core needle biopsy specimen, subsequent excision shows a more advanced lesion in about 1/3 of cases. This is sufficiently frequent to recommend excision in such cases as a matter of routine Breast Cancer Res 2003; 5: Clinical problems: to excise or not to excise CCC?

Margin evaluation: CCL with atypia should not be taken into consideration even when they are composed of cells that are cytologically similar to those in the diagnostic areas of clinging DCIS. Advances in Anatomic Pathology 2003; 10:
