Abstract

Breast cancer continues to be the most common malignant neoplasm in women in Spain. The radiological study of intrathoracic manifestations, often secondary to complications, is of great interest because intrathoracic manifestations have a high prevalence and diagnosing them early significantly improves the patient's prognosis. The imaging techniques in current use for this purpose include plain-film chest X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), thoracic ultrasonography, and hybrid techniques like positron emission tomography combined with CT (PET/CT).

In this article, we review the imaging findings for the different types of intrathoracic complications of breast cancer, classified as: a) complications related to tumor dissemination, b) complications related to treatment, and c) idiopathic complications.

Resumen

En este trabajo se revisan los hallazgos radiológicos de los diferentes tipos de complicaciones intratorácicas del cáncer de mama, clasificadas como: a) complicaciones relacionadas con la diseminación tumoral, b) complicaciones relacionadas con el tratamiento, y c) complicaciones idiopáticas. El cáncer de mama sigue siendo la neoplasia maligna más frecuente en la mujer en nuestro país.

El estudio radiológico de las manifestaciones intratorácicas, habitualmente secundarias a complicaciones, es de gran interés debido a su prevalencia, y el diagnóstico precoz de las mismas mejora de forma significativa el pronóstico de la paciente. Actualmente, las técnicas de imagen utilizadas incluyen la radiografía simple de tórax (RXT), la tomografía computarizada (TC), la resonancia magnética (RM), la ecografía torácica, y las técnicas híbridas, como la tomografía por emisión de positrones combinada con la TC (PET/TC).
