'''Ductal carcinoma in situ''', abbreviated '''DCIS''', in a common type of [[non-invasive breast carcinoma]].
==General==
*Diagnosis based on nuclear abnormalities ''and/or'' architecture.
**Low-grade DCIS does '''not''' have a malignant cytology.
*It is typically picked-up during radiologic screening.
==Microscopic==
Features:
*Architectural changes:
**Equal spacing of cells - "cookie cutter" look.
**Cells line-up along lumen/glandular spaces - form "Roman briges".
**Architecture suggestive of DCIS - see ''[[Subtypes of DCIS]]''.
*Nuclear changes:
**Nuclear enlargement - at least 2-3x size of [[RBC]] - '''key feature'''.
***Compared to RBCs to grade DCIS - see ''[[Grading DCIS]]''.
****Compare sizes of nuclei if you cannot find RBCs.
**Nuclear pleomorphism - important feature.
*+/-Mitoses.
Note:
*Apocrine changes of cytoplasm -- several sets of criteria exist -- any of the following:
*#Nuclei should be ~4x RBC for low grade, 5x RBC for high grade.<ref>URL: [http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/breast/dcis/apocrinedcis.html http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/breast/dcis/apocrinedcis.html]. Accessed on: 4 August 2011.</ref>

===Subtypes of DCIS===
The subtypes are based on architecture.
Note:
*''Comedonecrosis'' used to be considered a separate subtype. [[Necrosis]] is seen most often in the context of ''solid ductal carcinoma in situ''.
====Solid ductal carcinoma in situ====
Features:
*Sheet of cells fills the duct
*No spaces between cells.
