Which of the following benign lesion of breast is associated with moderately increased risk of invasive breast carcinoma?
Correct Answer: Atypical lobular hyperplasia
Description: Atypical lobular hyperplasia refers to proliferation of lobular type cells within the acini of a lobule. It is a benign breast disease associated with 4-5 times increased risk of developing breast cancer. In this type the cellular proliferation is mild and the cells fill the acini but do not distend most of them.
