Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder of unknown etiology characterized histologically by the presence of noncaseating epithelioid cell granuloma. Extrapulmonary organs most commonly affected are the lymph nodes and the skin. Sarcoid involvement of the breast is extremely rare but when present it may be confused with a malignant neoplasm clinically. A review of literature disclosed 29 cases of breast sarcoidosis. In seventeen cases(61%) a breast tumor was first manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis. Three cases were co-exist with breast cancer. All but one cases were required excisional biopsy. We discuss some diagnostic problems such as sarcoid-like reaction briefly.
