Abstract
Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of malignancy among women worldwide. Breast cancer can emerge on the skin in two ways: directly, as skin metastases or a direct extension of the tumor; or indirectly, as a paraneoplastic disease. Breast cancer imaging is an essential part of breast cancer screening, diagnosis, preoperative/treatment assessment, and follow-up. The selection of optimal imaging modalities should be contingent upon the patient’s risk factors and breast density since breast cancer imaging necessitates a personalized approach rather than a universal solution. There are a lot of different skin conditions that point to breast cancer, either as a sign of recurring disease, undiagnosed breast cancer, or a condition that puts you at a higher risk of getting it. Even though reconstruction has been shown to improve quality of life for many women, there are still a lot of complicated factors that affect morbidity and results.
