Inflammatory breast disorders are pretty uncommon. They present with a red, swollen, painful breast. So does inflammatory breast carcinoma, though - so any non-lactating female with this presentation should be carefully evaluated. Benign inflammatory disorders include: Acute mastitis (almost always occurs during the first month of breastfeeding) Periductal mastitis (usually occurs in smokers; no association with lactation) Mammary duct ectasia (occurs in multiparous women in 60s-70s; presents with thick white nipple discharge) Fat necrosis (usually follows breast trauma or prior surgery) Lymphocytic mastopathy (single or multiple hard masses; most common in patients with type I diabetes or autoimmune thyroid disease) Granulomatous mastitis (seen in systemic granulomatous disease like sarcoidosis; in granulomatous infections like fungal infections; and adjacent to foreign objects like nipple piercings) Read more: Robbins 9e , page 1046.
The RDW, or red cell distribution width, is a measure of how much the red cells vary in size. The official definition is "the standard deviation of the MCV" - the bigger the RDW, the more the cells vary in size. The RDW can be helpful in diagnosing different kinds of anemia. For example, in iron deficiency anemia, the RDW is increased (because as the patient’s iron continues to decline, each new wave of red cells gets smaller and smaller – so you have a pretty big range of sizes of red cells).

From Dr. Kristine Krafts at www.pathologystudent.com: Path bites is a daily email containing a concise little pathology fact. Sometimes there is a photo to illustrate what I’m talking about. It’s an easy and fairly painless way to keep up on pathology, whether you’re in a pathology class or studying for boards.
