Objective: A 25 years old female presented to outpatient department of General Surgery of Civil Hospital with breast lump. The objective was to investigate and diagnose the case. Material and Methods:The case was clinically examined in General surgery department. FNAC was done to diagnose swelling. The resected tissue was sent to histopathology for confirmation of the diagnosis. Histological analysis and Immunohistochemical staining was done in Pathology department.Results: On FNAC-Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma of breast.The patient was operated and tumor was resected. On gross examination, growth identified measures 4x3.5x2.5cm 3 , Cut surface is whitish solid, well defined and firm to hard.On histological examination tumor was diagnosed to be Poorly Differentiated Ductal Carcinoma of Breast. Immuno-histo-chemical staining revealed that the cells were positive for Estrogen receptor and Progesterone receptor. This case was to be Post burn Ductal Carcinoma of breast. Conclusion:Malignancy arising from Burn scar is rare, Squamous cell Carcinoma is most common Burn scar neoplasia and adenocarcinoma is extremely rare. So such cases should be thoroughly examined and followed.

Malignancies from old burn scars (BSs) have been documented in literature but are rarely encountered in our day-to-day practice. Adenocarcinoma is an extremely uncommon while squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant entity seen as BS neoplasm. Breast cancer arising from an old BS is rarely reported in literature. Till now, to the best of our knowledge, only four cases have been reported in literature. Here, we are reporting an interesting case of 38-year-old female with a history of burn injury on her chest wall including left breast and axilla 20 years back which was left to heal secondarily, i.e., without any active intervention. Later, she developed an ulceroproliferative growth over her left breast for which she consulted a local physician. A diagnosis of infiltrating ductal carcinoma breast of the left side was made after biopsy and was referred to our hospital. Metastatic workup was negative, i.e., chest X-ray posteroanterior view, ultrasound sonography abdomen and pelvis with blood investigations were found to be normal. Right side breast, axilla, and supraclavicular region along with abdomen were found to be normal. Clinically, she was staged as T 4b , N 0 , M 0 , Stage III B carcinoma breast left side. She was managed with upfront surgery, i.e., a simple mastectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and radical radiotherapy. After completing the radical treatment, she was kept on tamoxifen 20 mg once daily for 5 years. At present, the patient is doing well with locoregional complete response after 6 years of regular follow-up.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of primary breast cancer. IBC has an incidence of approximately 2.5 cases per 100,000 women. Malignant neoplasms arising from burn scars are well-known but rarely encountered. The subject was reviewed in a comprehensive publication that reviewed the literature between 1923 and 2007 and found 412 well-documented cases of squamous cell carcinoma (71%), basal cell carcinoma (12%), melanoma (6%), sarcoma (5%), other neoplasms (4%), squamo-basal cell carcinoma (1%), and squamous cell-melanoma (1%). In 2008, two cases were reported by Losanof, et al. both female, who were diagnosed with advanced breast cancer many years after severe thermal injury to their breasts. Bilateral synchronous or metachronous breast cancer is well-known and documented except for IBC. To our knowledge, our search using Medline and other searches did not reveal any post-burn IBC or bilateral IBC cases reported in the literature that occurred till 2006. There are only 2 cases reported in 2010 and 2016. We report our 3 case reports presented from one patient; who was diagnosed in 2006; a case of post-burn breast cancer, and to our knowledge the first case report of post-burn IBC type and a rare case report of bilateral metachronous IBC.
