LIN - A condition in which abnormal cells are found in the lobules (glands that produce milk) of the breast. This condition rarely turns into cancer. However, having LIN in one breast increases the risk of breast cancer in both breasts. Types of LIN include atypical lobular hyperplasia and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). Also called lobular intraepithelial neoplasia and lobular neoplasia
