Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Early-onset, longstanding insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) can present with unique breast pathologies.
  • Fibrous and inflammatory breast lesions in diabetic patients pose diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case of diabetic fibrous mastopathy presented with clinical, mammographic, and sonographic findings suggestive of malignancy.
  • Suspicious findings on imaging and cytology were noted.

Findings:

  • Diabetic fibrous mastopathy can mimic breast cancer, leading to potential misdiagnosis.
  • The clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and cytologic results were concerning for malignancy.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of diabetic fibrous mastopathy is crucial for accurate diagnosis in diabetic patients.
