Description
Summary:Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign inflammatory mastopathy. Histological examination of the surgical biopsy can confirm the diagnosis and thus exclude carcinomatous mastitis. Although its etiologies are undeterminated and it occurs mainly in young women, its idiopathic nature is confirmed after exclusion of the other causes of granulomatous disease. Medical treatment is based on antibiotic therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients with complicated forms are treated with surgery. We here report four cases of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis whose data were collected in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University Hospital MED VI of Oujda (Morocco).
