Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that accounts for only a small percent of invasive breast cancers in the United States. We report a case of advanced bilateral IBC in a 60-year-old female. This case report explores the clinical presentation, pathological findings, and different imaging modalities that can assist in the diagnosis of this disease. The initial diagnosis was based on imaging findings from both contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). The diagnosis was then confirmed with histopathological findings.
炎性乳腺癌(IBC)是一种罕见且侵袭性强的乳腺癌形式,在美国仅占浸润性乳腺癌的一小部分。我们报告一例60岁女性的晚期双侧炎性乳腺癌病例。本病例报告探讨了有助于诊断该疾病的临床表现、病理结果及不同影像学检查方法。初步诊断基于对比增强计算机断层扫描(CECT)和正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)的影像学结果。随后通过组织病理学结果确诊。
