A Case of a Bilateral Inflammatory Breast Cancer: A Case Report

Abstract: Cases of bilateral inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) are extremely rare. Our search criteria only found one other record of metachronous bilateral IBC (1). We present the case of a patient who was treated for IBC with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, modified radical mastectomy (MRM), and whole breast radiation. Less than 1 year later, the patient had a recurrence of IBC on the left chest wall with in the radiated field, as well as a new IBC on the contralateral side. Bilateral IBC is extremely rare. This entity can p… Show more

“…However, it is imperative to rule out urologic emergencies, such as testicular torsion, with ultrasonography. As opposed to gradual onset of pain seen in acute EO, testicular torsion typically presents with a sudden onset of severe pain with nausea and vomiting, in the absence of fevers and urinary symptoms [4]. Exam findings may reveal high-riding testis and absence of cremasteric reflex.…”

“…Two of these cases involved HER2-positive breast cancer, and one involved TNBC. One case of bilateral IBC with bilateral carcinomatous pleurisy ( 14 ) and two cases of metachronous IBC found within one year after the first operation for unilateral IBC have been reported ( 15 , 16 ). The factors involved in the pathogenesis and progression of bilateral IBC remain unclear.…”

Diagnosing bilateral breast cancer at an early stage is challenging, as it can be misdiagnosed as mastitis ( 16 ); however, the early diagnosis of bilateral IBC without distant metastases is important.…”
