Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis, A Rare Cause of Male Breast Mass

Abstract

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a chronic benign inflammatory disorder of the breast which

 

is extremely rarely seen in male patients, and the prognosis is not well known mainly due to

 

limited cases reported in the literature.

 

A 76- year -old male patient presented with nipple discharge and a palpable painless lump in

his right breast for one month. Breast ultrasonography showed a 19x11 mm size of a mass

which has components solid hypoechoic, irregular shape. A presumptive diagnosis of breast

carcinoma due to imaging methods and the core biopsy which was unclear, simple

mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed. The patient was discharged

uneventfully on the second postoperative day. The histopathological findings supported the

diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatosis mastitis.

 

Male granulomatous mastitis which reported in the literature has unclear pathogenesis. It will

 

be necessary to accumulate more case reports about GM in order to define risk factors and

 

optimizing the treatment.
