ABSTRACT
Granulomatous Mastitis (GM) is a rare chronic inflammatory lesion of the breast that clinically simulate carcinoma. The purpose of this report is to review the clinicopathological features of this clinical entity in a series of 5 cases that were diagnosed at our institute. Mammography, ultrasonography, and fine needle aspiration were performed in all cases. The treatment of choice for granulomatous mastitis is unclear. Of the 5 cases, one case underwent steroid therapy, two cases underwent anti-tuberculosis medication, and the others underwent only excision. There were no complications for the 5 cases during the follow-up periods. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of granulomatous mastitis should be determined on a case by case basis, by the clinician considering the various case results that have been reported on.
