First report of granulomatous mastitis associated with Sjögren’s syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Granulomatous mastitis is a rare and often considered as idiopathic disease. However, clinical examination and thorough diagnostic investigations have to be carried out in order to identify cases that are secondary to infections or systemic diseases since these forms may be cured with appropriate etiologic treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first to describe the association of granulomatous mastitis with Sjögren's syndrome. We discuss the clinical, pathological and therapeutic implications of this association.

متن کاملFirst description of NOD2 variant associated with defective neutrophil responses in a woman with granulomatous mastitis related to corynebacteria.
We report the first case of granulomatous mastitis due to Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii linked to strongly impaired neutrophil responses to Nod2 agonist and a single nucleotide polymorphism within the NOD2 gene (SNP13 [Leu1007fsinsC]) in a heterozygous state. These findings provided the first demonstration of impaired Nod2 function associated with corynebacterial infection.
