In which of the following types of breast carcinoma, would you consider biopsy of opposite breast?
Correct Answer: Lobular carcinoma
Description: Lobular carcinoma is often a bilateral, multifocal process affecting premenopausal women. The risk for subsequent development of breast cancer involves the breast bilaterally. Therefore, biopsy of the contralateral (opposite) breast is advocated in lobular carcinomas.
