Enlarged right breast with nipple retraction. Peau d’ orange on underside of breast not visible in the photo above is shown in the next photo.
Peau d’orange on underside of breast, not visible when standing. The small irregular red spot at the 11 o’clock position in this photo is the scar remaining from a skin biopsy, not a symptom of inflammatory breast cancer. While standing it may be necessary to use a hand mirror to determine if peau d’orange may be found on the underside of the breast.
“Axillary venous thrombosis”: blood clots in small veins in the armpit due to breast cancer. These “cords” disappeared during chemotherapy treatment.
Peau d’orange of a different shape, color and texture than shown in the earlier example, and involving part of the areola.
The clinical symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer take on many different appearances.
