    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Granulomatous breast disease (GBD) is a rare inflammatory condition.
    • GBD can present with clinical and imaging findings similar to breast carcinoma.
    • Accurate diagnosis of GBD is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions for malignancy.

    Observation:

    • Four distinct cases of granulomatous breast disease are presented.
    • The cases highlight diverse clinical presentations, including palpable masses and nipple discharge.
    • Diagnostic challenges were encountered due to the mimicry of malignant lesions on imaging and clinical examination.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination is essential for definitive diagnosis of GBD.
    • Multidisciplinary discussion is often required to differentiate GBD from breast cancer.
    • Management strategies should be tailored to the specific type and extent of GBD.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of GBD can prevent misdiagnosis as breast cancer.
    • Understanding the varied presentations of GBD aids clinicians in appropriate workup.
    • Suggested management guidelines aim to optimize patient outcomes and reduce diagnostic uncertainty.
