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.
炎性乳腺癌是一种相对罕见的疾病，临床表现多样，常常掩盖潜在的诊断。我们讨论一位54岁女性，她因右臂肿胀为主诉就诊于我院急诊科，最初诊断为自发性肱静脉、腋静脉和锁骨下静脉血栓形成而收入外科。进一步检查发现广泛的炎性乳腺癌。据我们所知，尚无文献报道炎性乳腺癌仅以中心静脉血栓形成为唯一表现症状群。
