BACKGROUND: Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare, yet controversial, syndrome of invasive breast cancer. CASE REPORT: A female, Caucasian, 57-year-old patient presented at the emergency department with complaints suggestive of inflammatory breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Inflammatory breast cancer, besides the advances on its molecular profile, still remains a clinical entity difficult to diagnose, especially in the primary health care setting.
