After completing reviewing this presentation, the reader will be able to: Understand characteristic imaging features of breast abscess and inflammatory breast carcinoma Discuss common radiologic manifestations and the value of different diagnostic procedures of uncommon breast disorders with pathologic correlation, where applicable, that can mimic carcinoma and lead to misdiagnosis Describe the most relevant clinical features, diagnostic work-up, and management of these conditions

The content will be organized into groups according to their respective cause. Common breast conditions that may be mimicked by noninfectious inflammatory diseases: breast abscess and inflammatory breast carcinoma Systemic diseases: diabetic mastopathy, sarcoidosis, and amyloidosis Noninfectious inflammatory diseases: idiopathic granulomatous mastitis, fat necrosis, mammary duct ectasia Vascular disorders: Mondor disease A brief discussion of the disease and patient presenting symptoms will be followed by the images from the mammography and ultrasound workup.
