“…Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology [1]. Breast sarcoid involvement is rarely reported and always in women [4][5][6][7][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In our sarcoidosis' series including 382 females, we observed 7 breast cancers (1.8%) and 3 breast sarcoidosis (0.8%), rates similar to those of the Lower's series [3].…”

“…Breast sarcoidosis can be diagnosed during the follow up of carcinoma [3,6] or both diseases can be diagnosed concomitantly [8,9]. We herein report 3 new cases of breast sarcoidosis and review in depth 22 cases previously published in literature with English abstract [4][5][6][7][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Breast involvement in sarcoidosis is rare, reported in less than 1% of cases. We report 3 new cases of breast sarcoidosis and analyzed the 22 previously published cases. Breast involvement was the only manifestation of sarcoidosis in only three cases while breast sarcoidosis was the site of sarcoidosis at presentation in 12 cases. Sarcoidosis was multi-systemic in 45% of the 25 cases. Except in one case, physical examination revealed multiple breast masses without skin/nipple changes or lymphadenopathy. X-ray, ultrasound of the breasts showed multiple irregular and/or spiculated hypoechoic masses without micro calcifications. MRI showed mass with gadolinium enhancement. Treatments, rarely given for BS rather than sarcoidosis, included steroids and immunosuppressant therapy, usually showed, a good efficacy in these series.

“…Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology which most commonly affects the lung but extrapulmonary invasion is seen in 40% of the cases [1]. Despite this high percentage of extrapulmonary effects, involvement of the breast by sarcoidosis is extremely rare.…”

Diaforodiagnostic dilemma of a breast tumor in a patient with known history of chest sarcoidosis: a diagnostic approach

et al. 2011

AbstractBreast sarcoidosis is extremely rare, substantially less frequent than other extrapulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis. It can mimic a benign or malignant tumor of the breast. We describe the case of a patient with a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis referred to our hospital for a screening mammography. Mammographic findings raised the suspicion for a breast mass. An additional breast ultrasound and fine -needle aspiration biopsy were performed. Finally, patient underwent a excisional biopsy of the left breast and the histopathological report revealed sarcoidosis.
