A 41-year-old woman comes to the physician 3 weeks after a vaginal delivery, complaining of a lump in her right breast. She states that over the past few days, she has noticed increasing redness in the area and that the site is painful and feels somewhat firm to her. She also complains of fever and chills. She is concerned because she is currently breast-feeding her child. She has no medical or surgical history. She uses acetaminophen occasionally for headaches and is allergic to sulfa drugs. Her temperature is 37.8 C (100.1 F), blood pressure is 110/70 mm Hg, pulse is 98/minute, and respirations are 12/minute. The right breast has an area of erythema and edema that is tender with no fluctuance. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A. Breast carcinoma B. Eczema C. Fibroadenoma D. Mastitis E.
