In-situ carcinomas of the breast have a variety of appearances under the microscope. The two major patterns seen in breast in-situ carcinoma are ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in-situ (LCIS). “Intraductal carcinoma” is the same as “ductal carcinoma in-situ”. In some cases, the in-situ carcinoma can have both duct and lobular features and in some cases DCIS and LCIS may both be present at the same time. 3.
