title: [Inflammatory lesions of the breast: indication for MR-mammography?].
abstract: In a retrospective study the value of MR imaging of the breast in inflammatory changes was evaluated. The signal enhancement of 8 patients with histopathologically verified inflammatory carcinomas and 9 patients with global mastitis as well as local inflamed lesions was analysed. Neither signal behaviour nor signal/time relation were suitable to differentiate between malignant and benign changes. In conclusion inflammatory changes of the female breast are not indicated to be examined with MR imaging.
