CONT

Inflammatory breast cancer causes the breast to appear swollen and inflamed. This appearance is often but not always caused when cancer cells block the lymphatic vessels in the skin of the breast, preventing the normal flow of lymph fluid and leading to reddened, swollen and infect-looking breast skin ... With inflammatory breast cancer, the breast skin has a thick, pitted appearance that is classically described as peau d'orange (resembling an orange peel). Sometimes the skin develops ridges and small bumps that resemble hives.
