Idiopathic granulomatous lobular mastitis (IGLM) is a rare breast condition with prominent skin findings. It is typically seen in young parous women. Painful breast masses, draining sinuses, scarring, and breast atrophy are the main clinical manifestations. IGLM can resemble a variety of other inflammatory and neoplastic processes of the breast. It is thought to result from obstruction and rupture of breast lobules. Extravasated breast secretions then induce an inflammatory reaction. Corynebacteria have also been implicated in the pathogenesis. Treatment is surgical, but systemic corticosteroids, methotrexate, and antibiotics also play a role.

“…Modified wise pattern incision has been commonly employed for reduction mammoplasty for gigantomastia (3). It has been used for hidradenitis suppurativa involving the inframammary region with good results (4). This technique has also been undertaken in the management of lower pole breast cancer (5).…”

Von Recklinhausen's neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant condition occurring typically with café au lait patches, axillary freckling, multiple fibromata, and Lisch nodules. We present a case of a 36-year-old female who presented with severe neurofibromatosis involving the lower half of the breast. The patient was not keen on mastectomy and pedicle flap reconstruction. A modified wise pattern incision was employed to remove the lower half of the breast and neurofibromatosis leading to a reasonable result.

“…If endoanal diseases are present, a diverting colostomy may be necessary . For mammary HS with submammary and nipple–areolar complex lesions, mastectomy, mastopexy and reduction mammoplasty, and breast‐ and areola‐conserving surgeries have been performed to remove all lesions. When surgeons are uncertain about the extent of the disease, preoperative magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound can be used .…”
