Figure 1. Craniocaudal mammogram obtained in a 58-year-old woman with a palpable mass in the right breast. The left breast was normal. A spiculated mass (arrowheads) is seen in the right breast. Neither radiologic findings nor a clinical pattern of inflammatory carcinoma was present. However, tumor emboli in the dermal lymphatics were detected at the histopathologic examination of the surgical specimen removed at mastectomy, and on the basis of these findings, a diagnosis of inflammatory breast carcinoma was determined. Histologic subtype and size: invasive ductal carcinoma, 3.4 cm in longest diameter.
