Lobular intraepithelial neoplasia (LIN) is associated with an increased risk of breast malignancy. The significance of LIN diagnosed at core needle biopsy (CNB) is unclear, although many groups recommend surgical excision to rule out lesions, which would require immediate, definitive therapy. Current management options include clinical/mammographic observation and surgical excision. The necessity of routine surgical excision remains controversial due to conflicting opinions on the biological behavior of lobular lesions, diagnostic confusion regarding histopathology, and uncertainty of their association with high-risk lesions. The purpose of this report was to review the published data regarding the incidence of high-risk lesions associated with LIN diagnosed at CNB to clarify the indications for surgical excision.
