Pathology reports differ: ADH on biopsy but no ADH after lumpectomy

I just went through the exact same thing. Biopsy says ADH and I had mastectomy because of it. Surgical pathology report can’t find ADH at all. It’s benign. I had biopsy and surgery done at Rush Medical Center in Chicago. May I ask where your treatment is. I wonder whether we end up in the same hospital.

@resort I believe why a biopsy gives a diagnosis of ADH is because there is actual atypia, but the pathology report from your mastectomy came back as no ADH is that the ADH was removed during the initial biopsy. I had a diagnosis of atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) from a biopsy, but after an MRI, no ALH was noted. I was told that it might have been removed during the biopsy. Sorry you went through all of that.
