Clinical presentation
a
Carcinoma ductal invasivo o infiltrante (CDI)
It develops from cells of epithelial origin (carcinoma) that line the milk ducts (ductal) and is called invasive or infiltrating because it has spread into the surrounding breast tissues. Being an invasive tumor, it has the ability to spread to the lymph nodes and other areas of the body. It is also the most common type of breast cancer in men.
Carcinoma lobulillar “in situ” (CLIS)
It is due to abnormal cell growth in one or more areas of the lobule. Its presence indicates that there is an increased risk of that person developing invasive breast cancer later, which may or may not develop from the original sites of the lobular carcinoma in situ.
Paget's disease of the breast
Its main form of presentation is in the form of an eczematous lesion on the nipple, with peeling of the skin, which may be accompanied by itching (itching) and irritation of this area of the breast. It is almost always associated with the presence of ductal carcinoma in situ, although it can also be associated with invasive carcinoma.
