Description

Granulomatous lobular mastitis is a rare benign tumor and very difficult to differentiate from breast cancer. We report two cases of granulomatous lobular mastitis which were diagnosed by mammotome biopsy.<br> Case 1: A 41-year-old woman was admitted because of two left breast tumors. One tumor was 18×15mm in size and located in C region of the breast, and the other was 20×15mm in size, located in the AC region, and suspected to be breast cancer.<br> Case 2: A 51-year-old woman was admitted because of an abnormal shadow on mammography. A tumor was 28mm×25mm in size, located in the BA region of the breast, and suspected to be breast cancer.<br> In both cases, the tumors were unable to be diagnosed by aspiration biopsy cytology, so mammotome biopsy under ultrasonic scans was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was granulomatous lobular mastitis of the breast without malignancy.
