A 47-year-old woman undergoes routine mammographic screening and has an abnormal mammogram with multiple small areas of increased density, though a single distinctive mass lesion is not detectable either by palpation or by mammography. A fine needle aspiration biopsy of a suspicious area reveals cells suspicious for a malignancy. An excisional breast biopsy yields a diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast. Which of the following is the most likely finding associated with this woman's carcinoma?
A This neoplasm will remain localized.
B The opposite breast may also be involved.
C A family history of breast cancer is unlikely.
D Paget disease of the nipple probably preceded this lesion.
E Estrogen receptor assay of this neoplasm will probably be negative.
