[Inflammatory breast cancers: correlation between anatomopathology and steroid receptor assay]

From a series of 89 clinically inflammatory breast cancers, the authors settle a subgroup of tumors, the infiltrative ductal carcinomas with a pleomorphic structure. They have better histological and hormonal prognostic criteria than the other carcinomas, especially the infiltrative ductal carcinomas with an atypical structure: lower SBR grading (p = 6.10(-5)), estrogen and progesterone receptors positive rate more frequently (p = 10(-4)). A prospective study will allow to confirm the better response to treatment and especially the better survival rate of this metastatic high risk breast cancer subgroup.
