RGD uses the Human Disease Ontology (DO, https://disease-ontology.org/) for disease curation across species. RGD automatically downloads each new release of the ontology on a monthly basis. Some additional terms which are required for RGD's curation purposes but are not currently covered in the official version of DO have been added. As corresponding terms are added to DO, these custom terms are retired and the DO terms substituted in existing annotations and subsequently used for curation.
A breast adenocarcinoma that is characterized by the clinical appearance of inflammation, with edema and redness of the breast due to pathologic plugging of the dermal lymphatics of the breast with tumor emboli. (DO)
