INFLAMMATORY CARCINOMA
Highly aggressive
Erythematous breast with dimpling of skin
(peau d orange) usually without a palpable
mass
The underlying carcinoma is poorly
differentiated and diffusely infiltrates the
breast
Plugs of tumor cell blocks lumen of dermal
lymphatics causing localized oedema
Very poor prognosis
May resemble acute mastitis
MEDULLARY CARCINOMA
Soft in consistency
Well defined mass
Movable
Non encapsulated
Occurs to 50 yrs old
CS ; areas of hemorrhage and
necrosis
MP ;
Sheets of large anaplastic cells
with poorly defined border
Dense stromal infiltration by
lymphocytes
Better prognosis than NST
1% of breast cancer
TUBULAR CARCINOMA
