Abstract
I AM reporting these cases as, contrary to some statistics, this lesion seems to be a rather unusuaI one. Besides, they were seen ear-her than most reported cases, which is an important factor as we must make earher diagnoses in this group if we are to have even an earIy mortahty of Iess than one IOO per cent. The cancer mortaIity from breast carcinomas is aIready very high but these cases are practically always rapidIy fataI. The first patient presented a lesion which was onIy moderateIy advanced for this type but died within a few months. The next patient, a Iittle more advanced, disappeared after I had examined her and the third case is stiI1 Iiving but the condition is only a few months oId. (Since writing this report, the third case has died of loca1, cerebra1 and massive Iung metastases, six months after operation.) was no history of chills nor acute onset. From the appearance of the breast, I believed this was a mild inflammatory condition aggravated bv the pendulous condition. I ordered elevation, rest in bed and hot moist applications. One week Iater she reported and was much improved. The tenderness was nearIy gone; the edema not so marked and the pink coIor aImost absent. 1 ordered a continuation of the same treatment. At the end of another week she returned feeling Iess comfortable, but as she had onIy partiahy carried out my orders, I toId her to continue as she had been doing: that is, eIevation, heat and bet1 rest.
