Presentation
A 25-year-old woman with a palpable mass in her right breast for three months presented to the presented clinic. On physical examination a mobile, firm mass measuring 2x2 cm was detected in right breast, at a region close to axilla. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Swelling
Surgeons investigating unilateral breast swellings in young males should not dismiss them simply as gynecomastia, and should be wary of cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The following are possible signs of breast cancer and should immediately be reported to your physician for further evaluation: Lump in the breast Thickening of the breast skin Rash or redness of the breast Swelling in one breast New pain in one particular [hopkinsmedicine.org]
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of Breast (NOS) is mostly observed in women after the age of 40 years The signs and symptoms of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of Breast (NOS) include lump in the breast, swelling or skin thickening around the region of the lump, [dovemed.com]
Symptoms Symptoms of invasive ductal breast cancer include: a lump or thickening of the breast tissue a change of skin texture such as puckering or dimpling of the skin a lump or swelling under the arm changes to the nipple a discharge from the nipple [breastcancercare.org.uk]
However, invasive ductal cancer may present with:- A breast lump or breast tumor Swelling Rash or redness of the breast Inverted nipple Nipple discharge Enlarged axillary lymph nodes. [breast-cancer.ca]

Neglect
Therefore, the possibility of concomitant breast cancer and endometrial cancer in a younger woman (premenopausal) is often neglected. The reported case is an example of this situation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Altered Mental Status
We report the first ever case of synchronous ILBCL and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast in a patient presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin and altered mental status who underwent modified radical mastectomy and subsequent chemotherapy [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
(See Workup.) Increased public awareness and improved screening have led to earlier diagnosis, at stages amenable to complete surgical resection and curative therapies. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Other Pathologies
-
Multilocular Cyst
Further examination showed a 7.0 cm multilocular cyst in the pancreatic tail and a solid mass in the thick septum of the cystic tumor. Distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Prostate, pancreatic, and hepatocellular carcinomas exhibit consistent marked zinc decrease in situ in the malignant cells, and other cancers (such as kidney, lung, and thyroid) also exhibit decreased tissue zinc levels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
This literature review was structured to identify and understand both the positive and negative QOL factors throughout breast cancer treatment, as well as post breast cancer treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Survival curves showed that the prognosis for ILC became worse than IDC over time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

(Etiology) The exact cause of development of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of Breast (NOS) is currently not clearly known. [dovemed.com]
These data support the evidence that some breast cancers share etiologic factors with ovarian cancer. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was searched to identify women with non-metastatic IMPC and IDC diagnosed between 2001 and 2013. Comparisons of patient and tumor characteristics were performed using Pearson's chi-square. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The current understanding of breast cancer etiopathogenesis is that invasive cancers arise through a series of molecular alterations at the cell level. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Since this condition is rarely reported, the correlated risk factors are worthy of our attention and the strategy for prevention is highlighted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Both drugs have potential side effects; including being at a higher risk for blood clots Preventative mastectomy: Prophylactic mastectomy, a procedure to surgically remove healthy breasts, is another possible preventative option for women, at a high risk [dovemed.com]
Though not considered hormone therapy, Herceptin is another drug that helps prevent cancer recurrence. Called a biologic, Herceptin attaches itself to cancer cells and prevents them from receiving growth signals. [healthcentral.com]
