Lupus mastitis, a rare form of panniculitis, presented as sclerotic and atrophic breast lesions in a woman. Histopathologic and immunologic tests confirmed lupus erythematosus, highlighting this unusual manifestation.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Panniculitis, inflammation of subcutaneous fat, can be associated with various systemic conditions.
  • Lupus mastitis is an uncommon manifestation of lupus erythematosus affecting the breast tissue.

Observation:

  • A case study detailing a woman presenting with specific breast lesions.
  • The lesions were characterized clinically as sclerotic and atrophic.
  • Diagnostic workup involved histopathologic and immunologic assessments.

Findings:

  • Histopathologic examination revealed characteristic features of lupus erythematosus.
  • Immunologic studies supported the diagnosis of lupus erythematosus.
