Background and Aim: Studies on hematological parameters in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) and breast cancer (BC) are limited. This study investigated whether preoperative fibrinogen and hematological indexes can be used in the differential diagnosis of patients with IGM and early-onset BC. Methods: Fifty patients with BC, 55 patients with IGM, and 50 healthy volunteer women were included in the study. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the IGM and the BC with respect to fibrinogen, fibrinogen/albumin (Fib/Alb) ratio, C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte values. When fibrinogen (p < 0.001), the Fib/Alb ratio (p < 0.001), CRP (p < 0.001), WBC (p < 0.001), neutrophil (p < 0.001), NLR (p < 0.001), monocyte (p = 0.008), and 2-hour sedimentation rate (p < 0.001) were compared between the groups, the highest levels were found in the IGM group. There was a negative relationship between CRP and albumin, and a positive relationship was observed between CRP and WBC, NLR, PLR, and 2-h sedimentation rate. CRP had the highest sensitivity (95%), whereas the Fib/Alb ratio (86%) had the highest specificity. Patients with recurrent IGM had increased fibrinogen, Fib/Alb, CRP, neutrophils, NLR, and 2-h erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and decreased lymphocyte levels compared to non-recurrent patients. Conclusions: Preoperative CRP, albumin, fibrinogen, Fib/Alb, WBC, neutrophil, NLR, monocyte, and 2-h ESR have considerable potential to be early and sensitive biomarkers of IGM caused by inflammation compared to BC. These parameters also have a significant effect on the recurrence of the disease, suggesting their potential as a practical guide for the differential diagnosis of BC from IGM.

One of the rare identity of breast diseases is Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM), a chronic inflammatory breast condition that can mimic advanced breast cancer. The case came with nipple discharge and mass with skin changes, which was definitively diagnosed following core-cut biopsy of the mastitis group idiopathic granulomatous.

Introduction. Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (GM) is described as a very rare, non-lactating, chronic mastitis that occurs primarily in women of childbearing age. Significant clinical problem related to GM is the diagnostic differentiation from breast cancer. Less advanced forms of GM can be successfully treated with limited surgical excisions and radical treatment is recommended only for the most extensive forms. Case report. First examination of the patient, by the surgeon at Oncology Institute of Vojvodina was in December 2018., when initial suspicion of breast cancer was set up. Core needle biopsy was performed and after histopathological (HP) analysis, confirmation of GM was obtained. The patient was initially offered Prednisone and Methotrexate therapy, which she refused and accepted only surgical treatment. Surgical treatment was performed few weeks after needle biopsy and consisted of performing a nipple spearing mastectomy with excision of the orifices of all fistulous ducts and their primary sutures. The HP findings of the operative specimen confirmed the diagnosis of GM. While there were no signs of dieses relapse, patient was suggested secondary reconstruction of the left breast. Twelve months after the primary operation, secondary breast reconstruction was performed with the interposition of a contoured silicone implant into a muscle pocket in a standard manner. Conclusion. Nipple spearing mastectomy with secondary breast reconstruction is aesthetically satisfactory treatment for patients with locally advanced GM.
