Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is rare but highly aggressive, and often hides in plain sight. Rather than presenting as the distinct lump, IBC typically appears as redness or swelling in the breast and skin changes that can mimic mastitis or infection, leading to dangerous delays in diagnosis. In this episode of BackTable Tumor Board, breast medical oncologists Dr. Lindsay Peterson and Dr. Bora Lim break down how to recognize IBC’s typical and atypical presentations, approach diagnostic workup, and tailor treatment across subtypes.
