Abstract:
Inflammatory breast carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of breast cancer that is definitively diagnosed by histologic evaluation showing invasive tumor cells in the dermal lymphatic system. Associated dermal calcifications are not typically identified. We report an unusual case in which inflammatory breast carcinoma led to the presence of pleomorphic dermal calcifications identified on the initial mammographic examination.
