nipple inversion, when it is a new finding, can be due to a few things, but cancer is definitly on the list, and needs an evaluation. Mammograms don't always show what's going on.

Dear nichols32:  If your mother has never had inverted nipples and this is only happening on one side, I would recommend that she see a breast specialist.  Regarding the soreness, breast cancer is not usually painful and the fact that both of her breasts hurt reinforces that the pain is probably not related to a cancer.
