– Carcinoma of the breast
(a) and (b) Characteristic skin dimpling over breast carcinomas. This may be a subtle sign and
only be visible in tangential light. (c) Nipple retraction and widespread 'peau d'orange' resulting
from a large central breast carcinoma. Peau d'orange is caused by a combination of
cutaneous infiltration by tumour and skin oedema (and occasionally by infection). Locally
advanced breast cancer may cause distortion of the breast. The colour change and ulceration
are uncommonly seen and only occur in neglected cases. Note also the puncture wound of a
core biopsy (arrowed). There was no obvious axillary node enlargement.
