Granulomatous lobular mastitis, a rare breast condition, often affects parous women and presents as a lump. Recurrent cases suggest surgery may not be the optimal treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Breast pathology
  • Inflammatory conditions
  • Surgical outcomes

Background:

  • Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare, benign breast disease.
  • It predominantly affects women of reproductive age, often during or after pregnancy.
  • Clinical presentation can mimic malignancy, necessitating accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the clinical and histological features of six GLM cases.
  • To evaluate treatment outcomes, particularly the efficacy of surgical intervention.
  • To discuss the implications for managing recurrent GLM.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Review of clinical presentation, patient demographics, and breast lump characteristics.

  • Histopathological examination of breast tissue samples.
  • Assessment of treatment response and disease recurrence post-surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Six parous women, mean age 34, presented with unilateral, extra-areolar breast lumps.
    • Histology revealed non-caseating granulomatous inflammation centered on lobules.
    • Four cases showed acute inflammation with micro-abscesses.
    • Five patients experienced persistent or recurrent disease despite wide local excision.

    Conclusions:

    • GLM is characterized by specific clinical and histological findings.
    • Wide local excision may not be the most effective treatment for recurrent GLM.
    • Further research into optimal management strategies for recurrent GLM is warranted.
