Dermoscopy of inflammatory breast cancer* * Work performed at the Dermatology Service of Hospital Alemán, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Abstract:

Inflammatory breast cancer is an aggressive and infiltrative malignancy that is often misdiagnosed as an infection because of its symptoms and signs of inflammation, delaying proper diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of inflammatory breast cancer showing correlation between dermoscopic and histopathological diagnoses. We highlight the utility of dermoscopy for skin biopsy site selection.
