Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis, A Rare Cause of Male Breast Mass
Öz
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.
