BACKGROUND Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a benign rare inflammatory disease of the breast. Due to its uncommon etiology, diagnosis and treatment is still unknown. Selection of a standard method for diagnosing idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is sophisticated. In view of non-definitive clinical and imaging finding, histopathology is the cornerstone of definitive diagnosis. OBJECT...

Background and Objectives: Granulomatous mastitis is a benign disease with clinical presentation similar to that of breast cancer, most commonly observed in women childbearing age. Although it has been suggested autoimmune diseases are involved its pathogenesis, no specific treatments have established. The occurrence this during pregnancy rarely reported. We presented the case 37-year-old woman...

INTRODUCTION Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a benign lesion of the mammary gland characterised by the presence of non-infectious inflammatory breast lesions limited to the lobules. OBJECTIVE We report twenty cases of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) with a discussion of epidemiology, clinical and diagnostic features, treatment and progress of this pathological entity. MATERIALS...

Aim. To assess the temporal imaging evolution of granulomatous mastitis and to review imaging findings. Material and Methods. Retrospective review of imaging data of 10 patients with biopsy proven granulomatous mastitis. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to their initial imaging presentation. Temporal evolution of imaging findings was observed separately for each group. Ratios, ...

OBJECTIVE To find out the clinical and management profile of granulomatous mastitis (GM). STUDY DESIGN A case. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY This study was carried out at Civil Hospital and Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi and Tuberculosis Clinic at Bantwa Hospital, Karachi, from January 1999 to January 2009. METHODOLOGY Histopathologically diagnosed cases of GM were studied. Data...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to review the imaging features of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) with clinical and pathology correlation. METHODS With institutional review board (IRB) approval, a retrospective search of the surgical pathology database from January 2000 to July 2015 was performed. Clinical, imaging and histology findings were reviewed. Cases of granulomatous ...

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare condition of unknown etiology with nonspecific findings. We present an unusual case of IGM manifesting after breast biopsy in a 42-year-old Turkish woman. IGM should be considered in the differential diagnosis when mastitis, carcinoma, and systemic diseases have been excluded and especially in the setting of a postbiopsy infection that is not re...

Leprosy is characterised by a chronic granulomatous inflammation of the skin and peripheral nerves. Dissemination of the lepra bacilli may cause involvement of other tissues as well. We describe an unusual case of the granulomatous involvement of the nipple-areola complex in a 35-year-old male consequent to borderline-lepromatous leprosy.
