Inflammatory carcinoma breast

Case contributed by: Dr Garth Kruger

Presentation:

Diagnostic workup of a large red swollen right breast

Patient Data:

Gender: Female

Case Discussion:

The breast is diffusely denser than the contralateral breast wit extensive skin thickening throughout.

It can be difficult to distinguish from mastitis; in practice the mastitis breast patient is in so much pain you can hardly touch the breast by the time it looks like this.
