| Abstract: | Granulomatous mastitis is rare chronic inflammatory breast disease. The most common causative organism is Mycobacterium tuberculosis though there have been cases reported of atypical mycobacterium causing tubercular mastitis. It is a diagnostic challenge because of its similarity with carcinoma, bacterial abscess and idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. The main objective of this study was to examine the histomorphology of Granulomatous mastitis. Materials and Methods: Over a period of 2 years (2019-2021), out of 112 breast biopsies, 15 patients were diagnosed with Granulomatous mastitis. Data were collected regarding age, gender, patient’s complain, site and, any swelling in opposite breast and axilla. Histomorphological features were studied on the breast biopsies received. Results: Of the 15 patients, all were female with mean age of 34 years (25–50 years). The clinical presentation is as breast lump with or without sinus, associated lymphadenopathy. On microscopy caseating and non-caseating granuloma formation, epithelioid cells, Langhan’s giant cells and caseous necrosis were noted. 3 specimens were positive for acid fast bacilli. Discussion: Granulomatous mastitis mimics a breast abscess, tuberculous mastitis or carcinoma hence final diagnosis is a diagnosis of exclusion of other causes of granuloma and typical histomorphological findings on biopsy. |
