Nonproliferative: No increased risk of breast cancer
Proliferative: Epithelial hyperplasia or Sclerosing adenosis, slight increased risk of cancer
Term

Definition
Fibrocystic Change

Proliferation of small duct and Myoepithelial cells with Fibrosis

Microcalcifications

Firm, Rubbery, painless, well-circumscribed
Actin + myoepithelial cells
Radial Scar

Compressed Tubular Glands
Dense Fibrous Stroma
Term
Large Duct Papilloma
Definition
Fibrocystic Change

Estrogen Sensitive

-- Post Renal Transplant
-- EBV in immunosuppressed
Circumscribed
Freely Mobile
Stromal w/ epithelial component
Stroma-> Benign
Estrogen Responsive

Derived for Stromal Cells
45yo, Latin American Hispanics
Like Fibroadenomas but recur
can be malignant
