BBD

A group of conditions marked by changes in breast tissue that are not cancer but may become cancer. Types of BBD include atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, and complex sclerosing lesion (radial scar). Having BBD increases the risk of breast cancer. Also called borderline breast disease.
