Breast cancer:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Warning signals of possible breast cancer include:
❑a lump or mass in the breast (a hard, stony mass is usually malignant)
❑ change in symmetry or size of the breast
❑ change in skin, thickening, scaly skin around the nipple, dimpling, edema (peau d'orange), or ulceration
❑ change in skin temperature (a warm, hot, or pink area; suspect cancer in a nonlactating woman older than childbearing age until proven otherwise)
❑ unusual drainage or discharge (a spontaneous discharge of any kind in a nonbreast-feeding, nonlactating woman warrants thorough investigation; so does any discharge produced by breast manipulation (greenish black, white, creamy, serous, or bloody.) (If a breast-fed infant rejects one breast, this may suggest possible breast cancer.)
❑ change in the nipple, such as itching, burning, erosion, or retraction
❑ pain (not usually a symptom of breast cancer unless the tumor is advanced, but it should be investigated)
❑ bone metastasis, pathologic bone fractures, and hypercalcemia
❑ edema of the arm.

Mastitis and breast engorgement:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Mastitis may develop anytime during lactation but usually begins 1 to 2 weeks postpartum with fever (101° F [38.3° C] or higher in acute mastitis), malaise, and flulike symptoms. The breast (or, occasionally, both breasts) becomes tender, hard, swollen, and warm. Unless mastitis is treated adequately, it may progress to breast abscess.
Breast engorgement generally starts with onset of lactation (day 2 to day 5 postpartum). The breasts undergo changes similar to those in mastitis, and body temperature may be elevated. Engorgement may be mild, causing only slight discomfort, or severe, causing considerable pain. A severely engorged breast can interfere with the infant’s capacity to feed because of his inability to position his mouth properly on the swollen, rigid breast.
