The two youngest documented cases were 12 years old. The one girl hadn't even started her menstrual cycle yet! Both had inflammatory breast cancer. If you'd like more information, you can find it here:

I'm pretty sure it was a girl who was 17 years old. Could be wrong though.

I don't know but I had a friend who was diagnosed when she was 19.
