Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis mimicking breast cancer

الملخص EN

Granulomatous mastitis is a rare disease which has a similar appearance to breast cancer on imaging.

Definite diagnosis is essential because of the management difference to breast cancer.

We report a case of a fifty-eight-year-old female who presented with a 1-month history of left breast periareolar mass.

Ultrasound guided core biopsy and aspiration were performed.

The pathology result showed features of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis.

The patient was treated conservatively and to repeat imaging in 2-month time and biopsy if indicated.
