Abstract

Granulomatous mastitis is a rare, benign disease of the breast that can clinically mimic carcinoma. Here, we report two cases of granulomatous mastitis presenting with unilateral breast masses suspicious for carcinoma, fine needle aspiration cytology of one patient was also suspicious, Histopathological examination revealed noncaseating granulomatous inflammation. This entity should be kept in mind for differential diagnosis since it mimics carcinoma and the definitive diagnosis is made histopalhologically. The surgery may not be the best treatment. Medical treatment can also be successful.

Özet

Granulomatöz mastit, memenin seyrek görülen ve klinik olarak karsinomu taklit edebilen benign bir lezyonudur. Burada, memede tek taraflı kitle şikayeti olan ve klinikte karsinom şüphesi taşıyan 2 granulomatöz mastit olgusu sunulmaktadır. İlk hastaya uygulanan ince iğne aspirasyon biopsisi de şüpheli olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Histopatolojik inceleme sonucu nonkazeifiye granulomatöz enflamasyon saptanmıştır. Lezyonun karsinomu taklit etmesi ve kesin tanının histopatolojik olarak konması nedeniyle ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulması gereken bir hastalıktır. Cerrahi tedavi tek tedavi seçeneği olmayıp medikal tedaviler de başarılı olmaktadır.
