Breast Lumps

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) of the breast is a rare inflammatory disease. We report a case of a 56 years old woman presenting with breast lump associated with history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune condition that induces inflammation, stiffness, rigidity, and lack of mobility in the joints and affects the peripheral joint synovial membrane, 1 which affects approximately 1 - 2 % of the world’s population with an annual incidence rate between 0.5 % and 1 %.2 Rheumatoid arthritis is an important cause of granulomatous mastitis. GM is an inflammatory disease in which granulomas form in breast tissue. It strikes mostly young to middle-aged women with painful and firm breast masses.3

Granulomatous Mastitis

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic inflammatory disease characterized by granuloma formation in various tissues, most commonly the lungs, lymphatics, skin and eyes. Involvement of the breast in sarcoidosis is rare, and can be defined into three subsets, including granulomas localized to the breast, referred to as breast sarcoidosis. Breast sarcoidosis may present with systemic findings such as erythema nodosum, arthritis, and uveitis, and unlike typical sarcoidosis, commonly manifests during pregnancy. In this report, we present a rare case of breast sarcoidosis presenting in a pregnant female with associated erythema nodosum, arthralgias and ocular complaints.

Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis

Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is an uncommon benign inflammatory disorder of breast. Peri-ductal mastitis is thought to be the initial inflicting factor for its development. IGM usually presents as painful swelling, abscess or sinus/fistula in breast. There are no specific findings on ultrasound or mammographic imaging, and moreover it looks BIRADS-IV on mammography. Histopathology provides the final diagnosis. Here authors report a case of bilateral IGM which was successfully treated with surgery.

Operative Exploration

Zusammenfassung. Die Adnexitis, im anglo-amerikanischen Sprachgebrauch hat sich der Sammelbegriff Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) durchgesetzt, stellt ein häufiges medizinisches Problem dar. Die Diagnose einer PID kann schwierig sein, da die klinischen Manifestationen unspezifisch sind und sie andere Becken- und Bauchprozesse imitieren können. Infektionen im Bereich der Adnexen können schwerwiegend sein und Langzeitkomplikationen (chronische Unterbauchschmerzen, Infertilität) verursachen, weshalb eine rasche Diagnosestellung und der frühzeitige Beginn einer adäquaten Antibiotika Therapie von grosser Wichtigkeit sind. Unkomplizierte PID haben meistens einen günstigen Verlauf, bei komplizierten Formen mit Tuboovarialabzess ist meist eine operative Exploration notwendig.
