Localisation of Columnar Cell Lesions in patients with Invasive Breast Carcinoma.

Dr. Roopal Rathi

Abstract :

Various studies have found similarities of Columnar cell lesions (CCL) with DCIS and Carcinoma; hypothesising them as earliest preinvasive lesions of Breast cancer which are found routinely near the tumor. Whether they are always located near the tumor has also become an important question as decision of excision after trucut is affected. With aim to idge the gap in knowledge, prevalence of CCL was studied in 37 of North Indian patients with Invasive Breast Carcinoma who did not receive neo–adjuvant chemotherapy. Other than routine, 4 additional sections within 2cm of tumor edges were taken. CCL’s were identified in 26 cases (70.27%). Their frequency, type and distribution was studied and correlated with carcinoma. We found that CCL’s are located not only in the vicinity of carcinoma but also in the uninvolved quadrants thus, correlating with low incidence of DCIS or IDC following their diagnosis on trucut biopsies.
