Granulomatous Mastitis – Diagnosis and Treatment Modality – Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disease of breast of undetermined etiology. Despite its low incidence, it has gained importance since it mimics breast carcinoma. There is still no definite treatment modality for this condition. Treatment with corticosteroids and/or wide excision is most frequent mode of therapy reported in the literature. We report a case of granulomatous mastitis in a 38-years-old female, who had presented with swelling in her left breast for 2 months. She had a past history of incision and drainage for the same complaint 3 months back. Presently, she was clinically diagnosed as a case of antibioma and underwent lumpectomy. Since it is a rare disease with chances of recurrence, ensuring appropriate diagnosis and optimum treatment is essential.
