“…a predilection of the disease among the Hispanic population from Central america or Mexico has been reported in North America (7). These findings are consistent with the overall epidemiological trend of granulomatous mastitis in minority ethnic groups, including Hispanic, Black, asian and african american women (6,8). The case described herein had all the characteristic clinicopathological features of CNGM and therefore provides an ideal educational model to guide the diagnosis and management of this unusual breast pathology in a resource-limited Caribbean setting.…”

the present study describes a case of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis. the clinical and radiological findings of the patient were consistent with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. Cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis is a rare subtype of mastitis with a distinct histological pattern that is associated with the Corynebacterium species. the diagnosis and treatment of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis remains a significant challenge due to the scarcity of available data. the present study describes a classic case of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis that includes clinical, radiological and histopathological findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case documenting radiological findings before and after treatment. This report encourages the consideration of this entity in the differential diagnoses of mastitis.

“… 6 - 7 In a systematic review by Martinez-Ramos et al 8 among included 70 articles, Turkey was a leading country having more publications in regard to IGM than others. An association between IGM and the Turkish population was depicted in a recent scoping analysis by Metanat et al 9 involving 7161 patients from 34 different countries in both criteria—countries where most publications originated (29.4%) and the number of patients within papers (39.1%). With regards to the distribution of ethnicity in these studies, it should be inferred that only few studies/countries reported such distribution, and Hispanics (65.9%) followed by Chinese (12%) and African-American (5.8%) were the pioneers among reported ones.…”

Inflammatory granulomatous mastitis is a benign inflammatory disease of the breast mostly presenting in puerperal women. The disease is characterized by recurrent bouts of mastitis with clinical picture of hyperemia, breast mass, and swelling of the breast with or without purulent discharge depending on the severity of the underlying inflammatory process. Although no true prevalence and incidence have been reported in the literature, there are several reported studies setting forth a predilection in specific ethnic groups and/or geographical areas. Due to the intricate nature of the disease, quite often inflammatory granulomatous mastitis may be mistaken for malignant processes of the breast and even so, there are no pathognomonic imaging appearances to differentiate one from another. The histopathological analysis is a definite way of diagnosis. In this article, we review the imaging manifestations and clinical and histopathological findings along with current trends of available treatment options in the literature and briefly discussed our institutional perspective regarding grading of inflammatory granulomatous mastitis based on ultrasonographic appearances.

“…Interestingly, all the studies conducted in this field have been carried out in Turkey, which has the highest number of IGM patients globally (32). Therefore, to generalize the results, it is necessary to perform this investigation in other regions to assess patients of different races.…”

Context: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a benign inflammatory condition of the breasts with an unknown etiology, which can mimic breast cancer on conventional ultrasound. Other imaging modalities, such as mammography and magnetic resonance imaging, cannot efficiently differentiate this condition from malignancies. Elastography is a novel imaging technique used to evaluate tissue elasticity. Objectives: This systematic review aimed to investigate the imaging features of IGM on elastography and also to determine whether this modality is useful for distinguishing IGM from other breast malignancies. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across several databases, including Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science, in October 2022. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool was used for the quality assessment of the studies. Results: After screening 851 articles, seven studies investigating ultrasound elastography were found to meet the inclusion criteria. Regarding the quantitative findings, both the strain ratio and shear wave velocity were observed to be higher in malignant masses as compared to IGM. Additionally, qualitative scoring systems, such as the Tsukuba and Tozaki classifications, assigned higher scores to malignant lesions. Five of the included studies in this review proposed a specific cut-off point for differentiating IGM from malignancies, using either shear wave velocity, strain ratio, or elasticity scores. In four of the studies, these criteria exhibited sensitivity and specificity of approximately 90%. Conclusion: The current findings suggest that ultrasound elastography can serve as a valuable tool for distinguishing IGM from breast malignancies. By potentially reducing the number of unnecessary tissue biopsies, this modality may lead to a more efficient patient evaluation process.
