Mastitis granulomatosa idiopática complicada con absceso de mama producido por Gordonia sputi, caso clínico / Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis complicated with a breast abscess caused by Gornodia sputi, a case report

RESUMEN

La mastitis granulomatosa idiopática es una entidad rara, benigna y crónica de causa desconocida que afecta a la mama. Es un diagnóstico de exclusión. Se deben descartar, entre otras etiologías, la tuberculosis, las infecciones, la sarcoidosis y otras enfermedades autoinmunes, como la arteritis de células gigantes. Los principales retos que plantea esta entidad son su diagnóstico diferencial con enfermedad maligna y su tratamiento. La afectación mamaria es anecdótica y ha sido solo reportada en relación con prótesis mamarias. Presentamos el caso de una paciente diagnosticada de mastitis granulomatosa idiopática complicada con un absceso de mama por Gordonia sputi.

ABSTRACT

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare, benign, chronic entity of unknown cause affecting the breast. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. Among other aetiologies, tuberculosis, infections, sarcoidosis, and other autoimmune diseases such as giant cell arteritis must be ruled out. The main challenges posed by this entity are its differential diagnosis with malignant pathology and its treatment.Gordonia spp. are a group of emerging pathogens that are mainly associated with infections associated with medical devices, mainly catheters. Breast involvement is anecdotal and has only been reported in relation to breast prostheses.We present the case of a patient diagnosed with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis complicated with a breast abscess due to Gordonia sputi.
