lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS)
A condition in which abnormal cells are found in the breast lobules. Since these cells have not spread outside the breast lobules, it's called "in situ," which means "in place." With LCIS, there are more abnormal cells in the lobule than with atypical hyperplasia. LCIS is not cancer, but having it increases breast cancer risk.
