Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) is rare; however, it is the most aggressive variant of breast cancer with a very poor outcome. Locally advanced breast cancer and acute mastitis have a presentation similar to that of IBC. Therefore, the diagnosis of IBC remains a challenge in breast imaging. MRI can play a crucial role in the differential diagnosis by providing criteria indicative of IBC. Several MRI findings, especially T2-weighted images, are promising for more reliable and accurate interpretation of IBC.
炎性乳腺癌（IBC）较为罕见，但它是乳腺癌中侵袭性最强的一种类型，预后极差。局部晚期乳腺癌和急性乳腺炎的表现类似于 IBC。因此，IBC 的诊断在乳腺影像学中仍然具有挑战性。MRI 通过提供提示 IBC 的标准，在鉴别诊断中发挥着至关重要的作用。几项 MRI 发现，特别是 T2 加权图像，为更可靠和准确地解读 IBC 提供了希望。
