Eosinophilic mastitis, a rare breast manifestation of systemic eosinophilia, can recur even after complete excision. Managing the underlying eosinophilic disorder is crucial for preventing further breast mass recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Systemic diseases rarely manifest in the breast.
  • Peripheral eosinophilia is linked to asthma, allergies, autoimmune disorders, infections, and malignancies.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old woman with asthma and eosinophilia presented with a recurrent enlarging breast mass.
  • Initial and repeat excisions revealed eosinophilic mastitis.

Findings:

  • Eosinophilic mastitis presented as a painless, dominant breast mass.
  • The condition recurred despite complete excision with negative margins.

Implications:

  • Eosinophilic mastitis requires surgical management to exclude malignancy.
  • Recurrence suggests the importance of controlling systemic eosinophilia and its underlying cause.
