Description

Granulomatous mastitis is rare disorder that often mimicks breast carcinoma. A 47-year-old woman presented at our hospital with a 1-month history of a right breast lump. She had a 3-cm elastic hard mass located in the median upper area of her right breast. Clinical and radiological examinations suggested right breast cancer. Coreneedle biopsy was performed, and no malignant tissue was recognized. Incisional biopsy was performed. Histological examination revealed granulomas composed of epithelioid histiocytes, giant cells and neutrophilic infiltrations. Bacillus examination identified Corynebacterium kroppensedtii. Granulomatous mastitis associated with Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii infection was diagnosed and successfully treated with minomycin. Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii infection must be considered in the treatment of patients with granulomatous mastitis.
