Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: clinical, mammography and ultrasound findings

Mastite granulomatosa idiopática: aspectos clínicos, radiológicos e ultra-sonográficos

Cristina Caetano Stefanon, Adriana F. Gonçalves, Roberto Lima, Karin Rossi



ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to describe the clinical, mammography and ultrasound findings of three cases of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. This disease can mimic breast carcinoma on clinical and mammographic examinations. However, ultrasound examinations showing multiple clustered and often contiguous tubular hypoechoic lesions in young women with history of recent lactation suggest the diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis.

Keywords: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis, Mammography, Ultrasound

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo é descrever as características clínicas, mamográficas e ultra-sonográficas de três casos de mastite granulomatosa idiopática. Esta afecção pode simular câncer de mama nos exames clínico e mamográfico, porém os achados ultra-sonográficos de múltiplas imagens tubulares hipoecóicas, contíguas e confluentes em mulheres jovens com história de lactação recente sugerem o diagnóstico de mastite granulomatosa idiopática.

Palavras-chave: Mastite granulomatosa idiopática, Ultra-sonografia, Mamografia
