Pathology report

busytoday

can anyone help me figure out this report.

My sister and Mom both have breast cancer and this report has me wondering what’s next.

Atypical lobular hyperplasia, with duct involvement.

Adenosis with micro calcifications

Deeper sections examined.

What does this mean?

busytoday, I would encourage you to schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss this pathology report. Basiclly, ALH is a b9 condition that can convey an increased risk for bc, so there are potential implications for your imaging/monitoring plan. You should discuss all of your potential risk factors together and what your plan with be for future monitoring. Your doctor may recommend that you see a specialist to have this discussion, or you may want to consult one for a second opinion.
