background: idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (igm) is a rare benign breast disease, which can mimic breast cancer. as the managements of igm and breast cancer are entirely different and the initial clinical manifestations are similar in several cases, it is very important to differentiate them. case presentation: we reported a 48-year-old female patient with igm and breast cancer. she was refe...

Granulomatous mastitis may occur as a complication of diabetes. Use of hormonal contraceptives, prolactin raising medications and hyperprolactaminemia has been implicated in pathogenesis or as predisposing factor. We consider the granul...

IGM most commonly affects young, healthy parous women and usually presents as an ill-defined breast lump simulating malignancy. On histopathology, noncaseating granulomas confined to the breast lobules are typically seen. We present a unique case of ...

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is an uncommon breast disease often mistaken for breast infection or abscess. We present a case of IGM diagnosed after prolonged ineffective treatment of presumed infectious mastitis with abscess.

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...
