Özet

IGM is an inflammatory breast lesion that is characterized by noncaseating epithelioid granulomas centered on the lobules with mixed inflammatory infiltration. The diagnosis of IGM needs to rule out other causes of granulomatous inflammation such as infective causes, mammary duct ectasia, foreign-body-type reactions, fat necrosis, sarcoidosis, inflammatory lesions of blood vessels, or complication of diabetes. On the other hand, invasive breast carcinoma can mimic IGM clinically and radiologically. Therefore, in the differential diagnosis, detailed clinical information regarding the patient, concomitant diseases, familial history, radiological features, and special technical methods for microbiological and histopathological investigations are essential.
