E-cadherin (E-cad) immunohistochemistry is commonly used to distinguish lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) from ductal carcinoma in situ in histologically uncertain or ambiguous cases. Although most LCIS cases show an absence of E-cad expression on the neoplastic cell membranes, some show aberrant E-cad expression which can lead to diagnostic confusion. Awareness and understanding of the frequency, patterns, and distribution of aberrant E-cad staining in LCIS is crucial to achieving a correct diagnosis.

Background: The Dutch breast cancer guideline recommends surveillance for classic lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), unless there is a discrepancy with mammographic findings, and surgery for pleomorphic and non-classic LCIS.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess adherence to the guideline in daily practice, as well as the surgery rate, risk of upstaging, and events during follow-up.
Methods: Selection of patients from a nationwide cohort diagnosed between 2011 and 2020.
