AB Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare and aggressive form of cancer characterized by dermal lymphatic invasion and tumor embolization resulting in erythema and edema. In many cases, by the time of diagnosis there is already distant metastasis. Mammography, sonography, CT, and MRI are usually performed for initial staging; however, PET/CT can also be used for initial staging as it offers additional diagnostic information.
