A
  • Invasive breast carcinoma typically presents as an irregularly shaped, adherent breast mass.
  • The upper outer quadrants of the breast are the most common site of breast cancer.
  • Overlying skin retractions (puckering) signal involvement of suspensory ligaments of the breast (ie, Cooper ligaments).
  • Malignant infiltration of these ligaments causes fibrosis and shortening, leading to traction on the skin with distortion in breast contour.
