Summary

Description
English: Histopathology of usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH) on H&E stain and immunohistochemistry. As seen on higher magnification H&E stain at left, it has the usual irregular "slit-like" lumina. However, this case had almost moderate atypia with somewhat enlarged vesicular nuclei in the periphery, and therefore immunohistochemistry was performed that confirmed UDH:
- Estrogen receptor showing heterogeneous positivity, rather than the diffusely positive expression seen in atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH)
- CK 5/6 with a mosaic pattern, predominantly in the central zone, rather than the negative expression seen in ADH
- E-cadherin and p120 showing membranous staining, rather than being negative and cytoplasmic, respectively, in lobular carcinoma in situ
- Myoepithelial stain (calponin in this case) showing circumferential staining, rather than the absent staining seen in breast cancer.
