Inflammatory breast cancer – case report and review of literature
Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer is rare breast neoplasm. Because of its rarity, this cancer is often misdiagnosed as generalized dermatitis or mastitis. It is characterized by an aggressive behavior and rapid progression. Five year survival times have increased due to multimodal therapy but they are still much lower than for other breast cancers.The author of this article presented a case of a 40-year-old Caucasian woman who was admitted to the hospital because of advanced inflammatory breast cancer. The progression of disease was very fast and the patient died before the start of chemotherapy treatment. The author performed a literature review on inflammatory breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
