Inflammatory breast cancer is characterised by a rapid onset of erythema and odema of greater than one third of breast skin and palpable axillary lymph nodes at presentation

Perhaps locally it will be difficult to judge first. Anamnesis, age, time of the disease, the first short-term anti-inflammatory therapy (if infiltrate) followed by a biopsy, or a biopsy at the opening of the abscess will help.

Inflammatory breast cancer has all signs of inflammation like redness, odema, pain. It is more diffuse and more long term than mastitis. There is no fever with cancer. There will be axillary lymph nodes. The mass may be bit diffuse. Sonography shows distinct mass with ill defined margins. Core needle biopsy and skin biopsy would give clear histological diagnosis of Cancer.

inflammatory breast cancer usually does not begin as a distinct lump, but instead as changes to the skin, a skin punch biopsy is often used to make the diagnosis but usually not required

The fundamental issue I have been taught in inflammation is any abnormalities involved in the lymph nodes. So as much as the tissues are important I think there should be a consideration of the lymphatic system. Thanks

Mastitis doesn't increase your risk of breast cancer. However, mastitis symptoms are similar to inflammatory breast cancer symptoms., and can be mistaken for an infection. This rare type of breast cancer causes breast skin changes. Signs may include dimples and a breast rash that has an orange-peel texture. If you've been diagnosed with mastitis and antibiotic treatment doesn't help within a week or so, you might need a skin biopsy to be sure it's not cancer.
