What should be done about granulomatous mastitis?

Granulomatous mastitis can be treated through medications, surgery, and other methods. Under medical guidance, glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisone, hydrocortisone, and methylprednisolone may be used to reduce the affected tissue. When the tumor tissue shrinks or disappears, surgical intervention is recommended. Surgical treatment involves complete removal of the lesion followed by suturing. The advantages of this approach include rapid recovery and the possibility of complete cure in a single procedure, preventing recurrence. The disadvantage is that local excision of breast tissue may alter the breast's shape, affecting its cosmetic appearance.
