Inflammatory breast cancer and larger breast
-
About one to five percent of all women with breast cancer have inflammatory breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer causes swollen breasts in some women. In this rare type of breast cancer, cancer cells block lymph vessels in the skin of the breast, giving the breast a swollen, red and "inflamed" appearance. In women with this aggressive cancer of the breast, the skin of the breast is colored pink to purple-red. Also, the affected skin contains ridges or pits that resemble the skin of an orange. The pitted appearance of the skin occurs when the breasts swell due to a fluid build-up in the breasts. Some typical symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer are chest heaviness, a burning sensation in the chest, breast pain, a tender breast, and a larger breast. The doctor removes part or all of the breast (mastectomy)
