Abstract

Granulomatous mastitis is a rare inflammatory breast disease. It usually occurs in premenopausal patients and its ethology is unknown.

The appearance of a unilateral inflammatory breast tumor is usually the most frequent clinical finding.

Clinically and radiologically it is very similar to breast carcinoma or tuberculosis. We must take into account this pathology especially in case of negative persistent cultures and inconclusive biopsies.

The diagnosis is obtained by biopsy. Histologically we will find a chronic granulomatous necrotizing lobulitis with microabscesses.

The treatment of this disease consists of antibiotic therapy prior to corticosteroids, in cases of poor evolution methotrexate can be added.
