Atypical Apocrine Metaplasis

Atypical Apocrine Metaplasis

My surgeon said he'd never seen this diagnosis before.  Does it rase my risk for breast cancer?  

It was an intruductal papilloma?

Dear Kate, Sorry for the delay in response.  In checking out your question I've found differing information.  In some sources there is mention of slight increased risk with this finding, in others (see link)http://qap.sdsu.edu/screening/breastcancer/bda/appendix_c.html#1
this finding does not show any significance for increased risk of development of invasive breast cancer.

A breast specialist would be the person who could perhaps put these findings in context with your individual situation to evaluate your personal risk, and recommend a plan for surveilance.
