A young woman presents with chest pain. On physical exam, a palpable left breast mass was noted at approximately the 11 o'clock position, 4 cm from the nipple.

Mammography: There is a 3.1cm oval, isodense partially circumscribed mass in the left upper inner quadrant.

Diagnosis: Invasive ductal carcinoma

Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common form of breast cancer (80%). It is believed to arise from ductal carcinoma in situ. There is malignant spread through the dermal lymphatics that can lead to skin thickening and nipple retraction. The cancer is often asymptomatic and found through screening. It has the highest incidence in women in their mid to late 50s and represents the most common breast cancer in men. Lymph node involvement indicates a poor prognosis. Diagnosis is usually made with ultrasound-guided or stereotactic biopsy of the mass.
