Breast lump in a patient with Type 1 Diabetes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The detection of a breast lump causes understandable fear of breast cancer in both the patient and the clinician. Patients usually first present to their general practitioner with the finding. Although majority of palpable breast lumps are benign, a thorough history, examination and timely onward specialist referral to the breast team for further investigations is essential to confirm the diagnosis, and therefore alleviate patient concerns. Here, we take the opportunity to report a case of diabetic mastopathy – an important yet-not-so-widely known complication of long-standing Type 1 diabetes that presents as a palpable breast lump in a young patient.
