Diabetic mastopathy is a rare diabetes complication often mistaken for breast cancer. Early recognition is key to avoid unnecessary surgeries in affected pre-menopausal women.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Diabetic mastopathy is an underrecognized complication of diabetes mellitus, particularly Type 1.
  • It predominantly affects pre-menopausal women with existing microvascular complications.

Observation:

  • The condition presents as a breast lesion that clinically mimics breast cancer.
  • Imaging studies like sonography and mammography can raise suspicion for malignancy.

Findings:

  • This case highlights diabetic mastopathy simulating breast cancer in a young, pre-menopausal woman.
  • Core biopsy histopathology was crucial in differentiating diabetic mastopathy from malignancy, preventing unnecessary surgical intervention.

Implications:
