follow-up on blue veins in breast

Why are "prominent veins in one breast" listed as a possible symptom of breast cancer if they are nothing to worry about? I've had the same blue veins encircling my nipple for a couple months now, and they don't seem to vary much with my menstrual cycle. My gynecologist saw me last week and said I was fine, but when are veins something to worry about?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Starlight, It has more to do with enlargement that causes the veins to become more prominent.  The concern is what is causing the enlargement that is causing the veins to become more prominent.  Or is there a blockage that may be trapping blood in the veins that make them become more prominent.
