An unusual presentation of locally recurrent breast cancer: a case report.
Recurrent breast carcinoma is usually detected by imaging studies and biopsy. We present a case with unusual clinical presentation and discuss the diagnosis and treatment. While core needle biopsy and fine-needle aspiration are important in the diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer, physical examination and close follow-up are important in the absence of a diagnosis.
