ABSTRACT
Son múltiples los espectros de presentación del cáncer de mama; uno de ellos es el carcinoma inflamatorio. En el presente artículo se expone el caso de una paciente de 62 años en quien se diagnostica carcinoma inflamatorio por medio de los hallazgos clínicos, ecográficos y mamográficos, y se corroboran mediante patología. La relevancia del caso radica en que es un caso típico de carcinoma inflamatorio, incluyendo clínica, patología y características imaginológicas. Se hace una revisión epidemiológica, de presentación histológica, clínica y por imágenes, con el fin de orientar a radiólogos y clínicos en el diagnóstico de tan importante, pero infrecuente entidad.
There are multiple spectra of breast cancer presentations, one of which is inflammatory carcinoma. This article describes the case of a 62 year old patient with inflammatory carcinoma, diagnosed by clinical, ultrasound and mammography findings confirmed by pathology. This case is relevant because it is a typical case of inflammatory carcinoma, including clinical, pathology and imaging features. An epidemiological revision is made, with a histological, clinical and imaging presentation in order to guide radiologists and clinicians in the diagnosis of this important but uncommon entity.

Mucocele-like tumor of the breast is a rare neoplasm and only a few cases of mucocele-like tumor have been reported on in Korea. These lesions were originally considered as being benign when they were first described, but now it is believed they can be both malignant and benign, and it is even possible that they are early lesions of mucinous carcinoma. We describe here both the mammographic and sonographic findings in a patient with bilateral mucocele-like tumors that were associated with ductal carcinoma in situ and mucinous carcinoma.
