INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER
This is an uncommon breast malignancy that can mimic mastitis. Usually, there
is no single lump or tumor. It is characterized by rapid growth with early
metastasis. As the lymphatics get blocked, the breast becomes erythematous,
swollen, and warm to examination. The edematous skin of the breast appears
pitted, like the skin of an orange, giving the classic peau d’orange appearance.
