Abstract
Background: This is a retrospective study aimed at evaluating patients presenting with Granulomatous Mastitis at Dr.D.Y. Patil Medical College, Pimpri, Pune. Affiliated to be Deemed University Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune. It outlines various clinical patterns in Granulomatous mastitis; this includes age, type of presentation and side. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Dr. D.Y. Patil Medical College, Pimpri, Pune, between May 2015 to March 2018. We evaluated 20 patients, female, of all ages, presenting with complaints suggestive of a Granulomatous mastitis. Results: The mean age of incidence of Granulomatous mastitis was 35.85 years. Among 20 patients 10 of them presented with lump (50%), 7 presented with Mastitis (35%), 3 presented with breast abscess (15%). The Right breast (60%) was noted to be more commonly involved than the Left breast (40%). Conclusions: Granulomatous mastitis presents in a certain age group and follows a certain clinical pattern as outlined in this study. Detailed history taking and clinical examination while keeping in mind these clinical patterns, along with ultrasound and FNAC (triple test), aids in establishing the diagnosis. Hence, the anxiety caused by breast lumps and nodularity can be releived by excluding the diagnosis of carcinoma breast.
