Key Clinical MessageIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a challenging chronic inflammatory disease in diagnosis with unknown etiology. Although the most appropriate treatment protocol has not yet been identified, prednisolone was used in our patient as an effective and practical choice in the treatment of IGM.AbstractIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the breast and mimics disorders such as breast cancer and breast abscess. Due to the uncommon of this disease, there is no definitive etiology, or treatment. A 38‐year‐old woman presented with a 3‐week history of painful right retro‐areolar mass. She had no history of breast trauma and a family history of breast cancer. She had a history of breastfeeding her second child for 12 months in the past year. Diagnostic tests and investigations led to the IGM diagnosis. Therefore, the patient was successfully treated with a course of corticosteroids, but after 2 months, during treatment, she developed Brucellosis. Despite the patient's Brucella infection and treatment with anti‐Brucella drugs, prednisolone as an anti‐inflammatory corticosteroid therapy was influential in the treatment of IGM.
