conclusions iglm should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses when granulomas are encountered in breast fnac and biopsy. a definitive diagnosis of iglm can be made by identifying its characteristic histomorphology and ruling out other causes for granulomatous inflammation. an exact diagnosis is essential since the treatment for different granulomatous conditions of the breast varie...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is an uncommon, benign entity with a diagnosis of exclusion. The typical clinical presentation of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis often mimics infection or malignancy. As a result, histopathological confirmation of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis combined with exclusion of infection, malignancy and other causes of granulomatous disease is absolut...

conclusion gm presents with a wide range of conventional radiological findings, hampering the diagnosis. in patients with inconclusive conventional findings, mri may assist in the differential diagnosis and assessment of the extent of disease. however, a definitive diagnosis and relevant treatment require histopathological confirmation. objectives the aim of this study was to review the radiolo...

One of the rare identity breast diseases is Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM), a chronic inflammatory condition that can mimic advanced cancer. The case came with nipple discharge and mass skin changes, which was definitively diagnosed following core-cut biopsy mastitis group idiopathic granulomatous.

A 31-year-old woman was referred with a painful mass in the left breast that was initially treated with antibiotics. Three weeks later, the mass had increased and polyarthritis and erythema nodosum had developed in both legs. A core needle biopsy led to a diagnosis of granulomatous mastitis with arthritis and erythema nodosum. Low-dose prednisolone (10 mg) rapidly improved the arthritis and the...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the breast, which is often difficult to differentiate both clinically and radiologically from infectious aetiologies such as tuberculosis, fungal infections, and also from malignancy, thus posing a diagnostic dilemma. We present a pictorial review of the commonly encountered imaging findings in idiopathic granulom...

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare condition of unknown aetiology, affecting women of childbearing age. Although many conditions mimic granulomatous mastitis, the cytologic pattern of epithelioid cells, multinucleated giant cells, neutrophils, macrophages and reactive epithelial cells, in absence of caseation necrosis and foam cells should prompt a diagnosis of granulomatous mastitis. ...

absract idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare, inflammatory, and benign breast disease characterized by non-caseating granulomata and microabscesses limited to breast lobules. this condition presents as a firm breast mass that is clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from breast cancer, or as multiple or recurrent abscesses, or mastitis in a young non-lactating woman. almost alw...
