NCIt related terms : inflammatory breast cancer; Inflammatory breast carcinoma; Inflammatory carcinoma;
NCIt definition : An advanced, invasive breast adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of distinct
changes in the overlying skin. These changes include diffuse erythema, edema, peau
d'orange (skin of an orange) appearance, tenderness, induration, warmth, enlargement,
and in some cases a palpable mass. The skin changes are the consequence of lymphatic
obstruction from the underlying invasive breast adenocarcinoma. Microscopically, the
dermal lymphatics show prominent infiltration by malignant cells. The invasive breast
adenocarcinoma is usually of ductal, NOS type. There is not significant inflammatory
cell infiltrate present, despite the name of this carcinoma.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of breast cancer in which the breast looks red and swollen and feels
warm. The skin of the breast may also show the pitted appearance called peau d'orange
(like the skin of an orange). The redness and warmth occur because the cancer cells
block the lymph vessels in the skin.;
