Abstract:
Inflammatory breast cancer is a relatively rare disease associated with varied presentations, which frequently obscure the underlying diagnosis. We discuss a 54-year-old woman who presented to our emergency department with a chief complaint of right arm swelling and was admitted to the surgical service with an initial diagnosis of spontaneous brachial, axillary, and subclavian venous thrombosis. Further workup revealed an extensive inflammatory breast cancer. To our knowledge there have been no literature reports of inflammatory breast carcinoma in which the sole presenting symptom complex was due to central venous thrombosis.
