“…Relapse rates after wide local excision are reported to be 6-83% (23,42). The diversity of these rates can be explained by the absence of a standard surgical procedure and the scantiness of follow-up periods and number of cases.…”

Results: All the cases were women of childbearing age, who had given birth and breastfed at least once. The most common causes for admission were; breast mass in 12 patients (70.6%) and pain in 12 (70.6%) cases. Five (29.4%) cases developed a fistula and four (23.5%) had abscess requiring drainage. Mammography was used for 10 (58.8%) cases, 12 (70.6%) were examined by MRI and all the patients were evaluated with ultrasound. Five (29.4%) cases were suspicious for malignancy prior to biopsies. Diagnoses of sixteen (94.1%) cases were established with tru-cut biopsy. Fourteen (82.3%) cases underwent wide local excision (WLE) following antibiotic therapy and/or drainage and 3 (17.6%) cases with diffuse disease also underwent wide local excision following therapy with antibiotics and/or drainage and steroids (prednisolone 32 mg bid). Complete remission was observed in one patient with diffuse disease who was referred to our clinic with excisional biopsy after steroid therapy (prednisolone 32 mg bid). Relapse developed in two (11.7%) cases in the end of thirty-six months of median follow-up. Both patients were treated with steroids (prednisolone 32 mg bid). Sonuç: GLM zor tanı konulabilen ve yaygın kabul görmüş bir tedavisi olmayan selim bir meme hastalığıdır. Geniş local eksizyon uygun olgularda tek başına, yaygın tutulumu olan olgularda ise steroid tedavisi sonrası başarı ile uygulanabilir. Conclusion

“…This can result in the development of a mammary fistula, as described by our patient, leading to a chronic situation. This situation can be distinguished from granulomatous mastitis, which is defined by a typical histological aspect, and for which various aetiologies are put forward including autoimmune processes, as bacteria are rarely isolated from granulomatous mastitis (Galea et al, 1989). Abscesses should be treated with antibiotics, but granulomatous mastitis is usually treated with steroids.…”

“…In the literature, there are studies reporting that, along with wide local excision, with prednisolone treatment the rate of relapse of disease are low (3,9,18). In some studies it is reported that the relapse rate is up to 80% after local excision separately (18,19). Oral prednisolone is often administered as a substitute to surgical treatment or in the cases when remission is not achieved (17).…”
