Despite the painful, scarring, and debilitating nature of the disease, patients often have a delay in accurate diagnosis and treatment. Breast Cancer 10:378-381, 2003. Idiopathic granulomatous lobular mastitis (IGLM) that mimics breast cancer both clinically and radiologically is a chronic inflammatory condition of the breast without a known etiology. Treatment is radically different for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis and other granulomatous lesions of the breast, so the precise diagnosis is therefore very important. Mostly patients get confused GM with breast cancer. Granulomatous mastitis is a rare, chronic, benign inflammatory disease of the breast that plays a role in many varying aetiology, including infectious and non-infectious causes. Although it usually presents with sinus formation and abscesses, it may mimic the clinical characteristics of breast cancer. Fine needle aspiration cytology did not provide any diagnostic information. The disease had multiple recurrences. Table 1. . It may occur at any time but it is most common after 2-6 years of pregnancy. . Therefore, we evaluated the value of a newly developed noninvasive technique called acoustic radiation force impulse imaging in differentiating IGM versus malignant lesions in the breast. The possible mechanisms of development and the implications for future management are also discussed. Adil, it's great to have you here because this is a little bit of a departure from this National Cancer . 1, 3 . is a teaching, cancer referral hospital in México City, México. Background: Idiopathic granulomatous lobular mastitis (IGLM) is an uncommon non-specific inflammatory disease of the breast. It has a reported incidence of 2.4 per 100,000 women aged 20-40 years old.1 Its aetiology is unclear, but various theories have been postulated, including autoimmune, inflammatory and hormonal causes.2 It is known […] IGM mimics breast cancer regarding its clinical and radiological features. Here, we presented an atypical GM case, which had clinical and radiologic features overlapping with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The mass was elastic, hard and painless, and located in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. Diagnosis is a matter of exclusion from other inflammatory, infectious and granulomatous aetiologies. IGM is characterized by sterile nonca- seating lobulocentric granulomatous inflammation (1,2). Purpose: To outline the demographics, clinical presentation, imaging features, and treatment modalities observed among a series of patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven granulomatous mastitis (GM). WHAT IS GRANULOMATOUS MASTITIS (GM)? IGM causes long periods of significant inflammation of the breast and overlying skin. Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare benign inflammatory breast entity characterized by lobulocentric granulomas. Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the breast that can clinically mimic breast carcinoma. Granulomatous Mastitis. Clinically and radiologically, it has similar characteristics with other granulomatous diseases and breast carcinomas. Diagnosis is complicated by the fact that the condition mimics breast cancer , which means that a healthcare professional may require several different tests to confirm a diagnosis and . We performed a retro-spective analysis of clinical, imaging, and treatment findings in 54 women diagnosed with granulomatous lobular mastitis between January 2000 and April 2008. granulomatous mastitis Group. This group is intended as a meeting place and forum for those who have been diagnosed with granulomatous mastitis ('GM') or idiopathic granulomatous mastitis ('IGM'). Granulomatous mastitis is a very rare breast inflammatory disease of unknown origin that can clinically mimic carcinoma of the breast. Although granulomatous mastitis is easily confused with cancer it is a completely benign (non-cancerous) condition. Forty-five patients with BC, 50 patients with IGM, and 48 healthy volunteers were included in the study. It is a disease which is difficult to diagnose since it can be confused with cancer .
