Granulomatous mastitis masquerading as breast carcinoma
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Granulomatous mastitis is a rare inflammatory disease of the breast with no known etiology. It presents most commonly with a palpable mass and erythematous skin. Often, the initial diagnosis offered clinically is breast malignancy. A definitive diagnosis can be attained with meticulous histopathological examination and microbiological investigation. We report a case of 60 year woman who presented with lump breast. A thorough histopathological and other investigations helped to arrive at the diagnosis of granulomatous mastitis and thus, prevented a major invasive surgery. Keywords:Mastitis, granulomatous
