Carcinoma of the Breast with Unusual Clinical Presentation A Case Report
A common presentation of breast cancer is a palpable or non-palpable breast mass that
might or might not demonstrate clinical signs of skin and/or nipple involvement. These malignant
lesions frequently receive correct diagnosis only by physical examination under modestly experienced
observers. We, hereby, reported the case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with a rapidly
growing skin lesion at the left breast for three months. A 3.6x3x2.5 em reddish, shiny, rubbery,
sessile mass was seen on the upper outer quadrant of her left breast. The cytologic and histologic
features of the tumor were typical for infiltrating ductal carcinoma. This case demonstrated a very
unusual clinical presentation of breast cancer. No similar clinical feature of such cancer was men-
tioned in the reviewed literature.
