What Is Granulomatous Mastitis?
Disease description:
Recently, I experienced chest pain and was diagnosed with granulomatous mastitis after examination. Could you please tell me what category this condition falls under?
Hello, granulomatous mastitis is a breast disorder—a chronic inflammatory condition primarily characterized by granuloma formation in the mammary tissue. It typically occurs in non-lactating women and may be triggered by local inflammatory responses such as bacterial infection or trauma, leading to necrosis. Histopathologically, it manifests as a chronic inflammatory process within the mammary lobules, featuring granulomatous inflammation with epithelioid cell granulomas and multinucleated giant cells.
