Abstract
Skin thickening and increased density of the breast parenchyma are findings that we have noted on mammograms following primary radiation therapy of the breast. These findings are very similar to those seen in inflammatory carcinoma of the breast. We were unable to distinguish between them on a roentgenographic basis. The presence of such changes on a mammogram is to be anticipated; however, they do not necessarily indicate recurrence of the carcinoma. Unfortunately, recurrence cannot be excluded in such breasts on the basis of roentgenographic criteria.
