ABSTRACT
Our retrospective study was performed on 10 cases of granulo-matous mastitis registered in Obstetric Gynaecology Department and Pathology Department of CHU F. Hached Sousse, during 8 years period. The mean age was 36.4 years [range 32-59]. Among these 10 cases, 8 were observed in reproductive-age women and 2 were noted in menopausal women. Clinical findings showed unilateral breast nodule associated with inflammatory signis in 4 cases, mammelonary retraction in 2 cases and serous or sero-purulent mamelonnary flow in 4 cases. Mammographic examination suggested a malignant tumor in 5 patients. In all cases, the diagnosis is made by histopathology. Surgical treatment consisted in wide excision with drainage or radical mastectomy, eventually with combination with antibiotic therapy and non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. Prognostic features showed a good cicatrisation in 4 cases, local recurrence and cutanonus fistulization in one patient. Granulomatous mastitis aetiology is still unclear, auto-immune aetio-pathologenesis appears more interesting and should be clarified
