“…The imaging findings of IBC in our study concur with those of previous studies [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Diffusely increased parenchymal density (now termed global asymmetry according to the ACR BIRADS lexicon [19]), trabecular distortion, and skin thickening were noted on mammography.…”

“…Sonography has been useful in localizing primary BPLs to facilitate biopsy and for evaluation of the regional nodes [9,11,13,15]. In our study, primary BPLs were more frequently visible on sonography than on mammography.…”

“…As an accessory finding, multiple enhancing nodular lesions are seen in the sternal body (arrowhead in d). [2] and substantially higher than that reported by previous studies (22%-56%) [21,22]. Nodal metastases were confirmed by histology in 83% (10/12 cases) of lymphadenopathy suspected on MR imaging, a percentage higher than that reported by Yang et al (44%) [2].…”

“…Besides thickening, another imaging characteristic of IBC seems to be the pathological skin contrast enhancement. In seven of nine inflammatory carcinomas, Lee et al observed abnormal, strong signal increase of the skin in MRM [34]. The authors concluded that pathological enhancement of the thickened skin is useful in the diagnosis of IBC.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging of inflammatory breast carcinoma and acute mastitis. A comparative study

et al. 2008

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of magnetic resonance mammography (MRM) to distinguish inflammatory breast carcinomas (IBC) from acute mastitis (AM). This study compared MRM examinations of two selected groups of patients: 48 subjects with IBC and 42 patients with AM. No statistical differences were revealed between the two groups for morphology of masses and of non-mass-like enhancement, breast enlargement, diffuse skin thickening, abnormal nipple configuration, prominent vessels, and also for cutaneous/subcutaneous, perimamillar and diffuse oedema. However, initial and postinitial dynamic characteristics significantly differed between the two groups (p < 0.001). In IBC, more masses with a greater average size were detected (p < 0.05). The following morphological criteria were also observed more often in IBC (p < 0.05): T2-hypointensity of masses (77.5%/18.2%), blooming sign (62.5%/31.8%), infiltration of pectoralis major muscle (interruption of fat plane: 54.2%/16.7%; pathological enhancement: 33.3%/7.1%), perifocal (66.7%/33.3%), prepectoral (72.9%/31.0%) and intramuscular pectoral oedema (41.7%/7.1%). The main localisation of AM was subareolar, of IBC central or dorsal (p < 0.001). The discrimination between AM and IBC remains a diagnostic challenge because of overlapping imaging features. However, the combination of multiple dynamic and morphological MRM criteria seems to have the potential for a differential diagnosis.
