After an ultrasound and biopsy, Ms. Franz received a diagnosis of IBC, a rare type of aggressive breast cancer that does not always present with the common symptom of a lump in the breast.
IBC is a rare form of breast cancer, accounting for only 1 to 5% of all breast cancer cases. It tends to occur in women younger than 40 years. It is more aggressive, grows and spreads much faster than more common forms of cancer.

Ms Bailey was diagnosed with stage 1 lobular breast cancer, which, like IBC, usually grows and spreads without forming a distinct mass.
Lobular breast cancer begins in the milk-producing glands of the breast and is the second most common form of breast cancer. It represents 10 to 15 percent of diagnosed cases.
It can be difficult to diagnose due to the abnormal way in which the cells grow, making it difficult to identify on a mammogram. Like IBC, symptoms do not always include a lump, and can appear as an inverted nipple, a change in breast skin texture and swelling. .
