Figure 1. PET scan at 4 months revealing increased tracer uptake in the right breast. PET: positron emission tomography.
Figure 2. The image illustrating the condition of the breast upon arrival at the emergency room, characterized by intense erythema, skin de-epithelialization, ischemic changes, and tissue necrosis.
Figure 3. CT scan of the chest and abdominopelvic of the breast necrotizing infection. This image illustrates large pockets of gas within the right breast parenchyma with edema. CT: computed tomography.
