Inflammatory breast cancer: imaging findings.

To assess the imaging findings of inflammatory breast cancer, we retrospectively analyzed the mammography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of nine patients with inflammatory breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer showed skin thickening and nipple-areolar swelling on mammography, ultrasonography, and MRI. Tumor with lymphatic dilatation on ultrasonography and enhancement of thickened skin and parenchyma on MRI can be useful findings in the diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer.
