The growth pattern of in situ carcinoma in the female breast.
The histopathological growth pattern of in situ carcinoma in the female breast is divided into three forms: 1) microfocal, 2) diffuse, and 3) tumour forming. This classification is clearly correlated to our diagnostic findings and forms furthermore the basis for our planning of treatment, as the growth pattern is probably of prognostic relevance.
