Abstract

Objective: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis, a rare, benign, chronic inflammatory condition of the breast, which usually mimics breast carcinoma. In this study, we report on the management of 49 cases of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis and their clinical presentation. Methods: The breast and anatomical databases of one center were reviewed from 2007 to 2012 to identify patients with histological diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. Clinical and demographic characteristics were retrieved and treatment modalities were were recorded. Results: The mean patient age was 37.71±7.1 years. There were no differences between the management groups about etiological and demographic factors. The rate of recurrence in group 1, group 2, and group 3 was 8.3%, 14.8% and 20%, respectively; there were no statistically significant difference among the groups. Conclusion: Steroids and surgical methods codified in idiopathic granulomatous mastitis may be preferred. We recommend steroid therapy as first-line treatment. However, prospective, randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the treatment algorithm. Key words: Idiopathic, granulomatous, mastitis, management

Granülamatöz mastit: 49 hastanın retrospektif incelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: İdiopatik granulomatöz mastit, nadir görülen, benign, kronik inflamatuar bir hastalık olup meme kanserini taklit eder. Bu çalışmada idiopatik mastitli 49 hastanın tedavisini ve kliniğini sunmayı amaçladık. Yöntemler: Hastane otomasyon sisteminde 2007-2012 yılları arasında histolojik olarak granulomatöz tanısı konulmuş hastalar incelendi. Hastalara ait klinik bulgular, demografik veriler ve tedavi yöntemleri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş 37.71±7.1 idi. Tedavi gruplar arasında etiyolojik ve demografik açıdan istatistiksel fark yoktu. Nüks oranları grup 1, grup 2 ve grup 3’te sırasıyla %8,3, %14,8 %20 olup, gruplar arasında istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Sonuç: Steroid ve cerrahi tedavinin idiopatik granulomatöz mastitli hastalarda uygulanabileceğini, steroid tedavisinin ilk basamak tedavi olması gerektiği kanaatindeyiz. Bununla birlikte tedavi algoritması belirlenebilmesi için prospektif, randomize klinik çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır
