The aim of this issue is to provide a range of articles addressing diagnostic, predictive and prognostic breast pathology, as well as some overviews of areas of research that have implications for future developments particularly in targeted clinical therapies. A number of the manuscripts address lesions causing diagnostic difficulties, as evidenced by routine day-today and referral practice, as reported previously in this journal. Reviews of other, commoner lesions have been selected where there have been developments in understanding of the biology or changes in classification.I have found reading and editing the articles in this review issue of Histopathology both illuminating and educational. I hope the readers, similarly, find the selection of topics stimulating and valuable. Sarah E Pinder - Editorial
