Inflammatory breast carcinoma is a rare form of invasive breast cancer often characterized by erythema, warmth, and a classic 2peau de orange3 or 2orange peel3 appearance of the affected breast. The average age of onset is within the fourth and fifth decades. Lesions are usually detected and evaluated with mammography, sonography, and recently, breast magnetic resonance imaging. Because these lesions may be misdiagnosed as infection (i.e., mastitis) or as the sequelae of a dermatologic disorder, proper characterization of inflammatory breast carcinoma is of the utmost clinical and radiologic importance
