Out of 52 cases of lobular carcinoma in situ, 41 presented extralobular ductal involvement. This seems to be of no prognostic importance. Isolated occurrence of extralobular ductal involvement is not likely, and the demonstration of such lesions would require further examinations in order to detect lobular carcinoma in situ. It is presumed that the cells in lobular carcinoma in situ and those seen in extralobular ductal involvement have a common genesis.
