ICD-10 Code D05.01 | Lobular carcinoma in situ of right breast Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a non-invasive condition where abnormal cells grow in the lobules of the breast. While it is not considered breast cancer, it indicates an increased risk for developing invasive breast cancer in the future.

LCIS is typically diagnosed through imaging studies such as mammograms and confirmed via biopsy. It is often found incidentally during evaluations for other breast conditions.

Management of LCIS usually involves regular monitoring and surveillance rather than immediate treatment. In some cases, risk-reducing strategies, including prophylactic mastectomy, may be discussed.

While LCIS itself is not hereditary, individuals with a family history of breast cancer may have a higher risk of developing both LCIS and invasive breast cancer. Genetic counseling may be recommended.
