摘要：

Reported cases encountered difficulty in differentiating between inflammatory carcinoma and breast edema caused by congestive heart failure especially if the breast edema is unilateral. Our presented case is an elderly woman with unilateral breast edema due to congestive heart failure that was initially suspected to have breast cancer based on clinical findings. However imaging studies showed breast edema pattern with no definite underlying mass. This edema was resolved with standard treatment of heart failure. Congestive heart failure may be a possible cause of unilateral breast edema especially in a patient with background of congestive heart failure.
