Description:
Breast dimpling is an important, but somewhat late sign of Breast Cancer. A neoplasm that causes dimpling is usually close to the skin and at least 1 cm in diameter. It feels irregularly shaped and fixed to underlying tissue, and it-s usually painless. Other signs of Breast Cancer include peau d-orange; changes in Breast symmetry or size; nipple retraction; and a unilateral, spontaneous, nonmilky nipple discharge that-s serous or bloody. (A bloody nipple discharge in the presence of a lump is a classic sign of Breast Cancer.) Axillary lymph nodes may be enlarged. Pain may be present, but isn-t a reliable symptom of Breast Cancer. A Breast ulcer may appear as a late sign.

Painful unilateral gynecomastia develops rapidly in males with Breast Cancer. Palpation may reveal a hard or stony Breast lump suggesting a malignant tumor. Breast examination may also detect changes in Breast symmetry; skin changes, such as thickening, dimpling, peau d-orange, or ulceration; a warm, reddened area; and nipple changes, such as itching, burning, erosion, deviation, flattening, retraction, and a watery, bloody, or purulent discharge

Description:
Advanced Breast Cancer is the most likely cause of peau d-orange, which usually begins in the dependent part of the Breast or the areola. Palpation typically reveals a firm, immobile mass that adheres to the skin above the area of peau d-orange. Inspection of the Breasts may reveal changes in contour, size, or symmetry. Inspection of the nipples may reveal deviation, erosion, retraction, and a thin and watery, bloody, or purulent discharge. The patient may report a burning and itching sensation in the nipples as well as a sensation of warmth or heat in the Breast. Breast pain may occur, but it isn-t a reliable indicator of Cancer

Description:
Breast dimpling from fat necrosis follows inflammation and trauma to the fatty tissue of the Breast (although the patient usually can-t remember such trauma). Tenderness, erythema, bruising, and contusions may occur. Other findings include a hard, indurated, poorly delineated lump, which is fibrotic and fixed to underlying tissue or overlying skin as well as signs of nipple retraction.
