title: [A Case of Recurrent Inflammatory Breast Cancer Treated Using Multidisciplinary Therapy].
abstract: The patient was a 65-year-old woman who underwent segmental mastectomy for left breast cancer 5 years ago. The pathological diagnosis ofthe tumor was noninvasive ductal carcinoma, TisN0M0 and Stage 0. Postoperative radiation therapy was performed, but chemotherapy and hormone therapy were not administered. The patient presented with redness of the residual left breast. Skin biopsy showed lymphatic invasion of adenocarcinoma, and the patient was diagnosed with inflammatory carcinoma ofthe breast. After 4 cycles ofAC followed by 4 cycles ofdocetaxel, the mass was diminished and the redness disappeared. Total mastectomy with wide skin resection and axillary lymph node dissection was performed. The pathological diagnosis revealed scirrhous carcinoma ofthe left residual breast(T3N0, Stage II B, s, f, g, margin[-], ly0, v0, ER[+], PgR[+], HER2[1+]). She received treatment with an aromatase inhibitor, and 2 years after the operation is alive with no recurrence.
