Overview

Inflammatory breast cancer[1] is an especially aggressive[2] type of breast cancer that can occur in women of any age (and, although extremely rarely, in men). It is unique because it often does not present with a lump and therefore often is not detected by mammography or ultrasound.[3] It presents with the signs and symptoms of a breast infection such as mastitis.

IBC or Inflammatory Breast Cancer causes breast changes in the nipple and surrounding areas. Other symptoms include rapid increase in breast size, redness, persistent itching, skin hot to the touch. IBC often initially resembles mastitis, and is sometimes misdiagnosed as an insect bite.

Inflammatory breast cancer is defined histologically by the presence of cancer cells in the subdermal lymphatics on skin biopsy. Diagnosis is done with an MRI or biopsy.



Differentiating Inflammatory Breast cancer from other Diseases

Inflammatory breast cancer must be differentiated from other diseases that cause breast pain and swelling as shown below:[4][5] [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Diseases Laboratory Findings Physical Examination History and Symptoms Other Findings
Breast milk culture Biopsy Breast tenderness Skin induration Cordlike vein appearance History of trauma Nipple retraction Nipple discharge Erythema Fever Warmth Lymphadenopathy Itching
Breast abscess + for bacteria
Mastitis + for bacteria
Inflammatory breast cancer *Peau d' orange appearance of the skin

*Metastasis is common.

Galactocele It is differentiated from other masses by US.
Plugged duct
Mondor's syndrome Retracted breast skin and elevation of the skin may be observed.
Cellulitis
Fibroadenoma *Peau d' orange skin apperance.

*Enlarged veins on the skin
