Learn About Inflammatory Breast Cancer

View Main Condition: Breast Cancer

What is the definition of Inflammatory Breast Cancer?
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive type of breast cancer in which the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast. This type of breast cancer is called 'inflammatory' because the breast often looks swollen and red, or 'inflamed.' The skin may also look dimpled like the skin of an orange. IBC can be difficult to diagnose because there is no lump to feel or detect on a mammogram. Like other types of breast cancer, IBC can occur in men, but usually at an older age than in women.
What are the alternative names for Inflammatory Breast Cancer?
