[Atypical ductal and lobular hyperplasia of the breast].
Atypical hyperplasia represents 4% of all benign breast diseases. There are two different types: atypical ductal hyperplasia and atypical lobular hyperplasia. Aside columnar cell lesion. They represent an early stage of some forms of low grade carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinomas. Atypical hyperplasia is a benign lesion with intermediate carcinologic risk and the existence of a concomitant aggressive lesion should be suspected. When atypical lesion is found on a biopsy specimen, surgical excision is recommended especially in case of atypical ductal hyperplasia. A regular supervision is recommended.
