ABSTRACT
Summary Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare disorder of unknown etiology. This disease occurs mostly in young women and often after the lactation period. Women usually present with a fixed, painful mass, sparing the retroareolar region, associated with skin thickening and possible ulceration that mimics carcinoma. Nipple discharge can be present and bilateral involvement may occur in up to 25% of cases. In this case report, we present a typical case of histologically confirmed idiopathic granulomatous mastitis, highlighting the imaging findings, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which may favor this diagnosis and enable better clinical management of these patients.
RESUMO
Resumo A mastite granulomatosa idiopática é uma afecção rara e de etiologia desconhecida. Essa doença ocorre principalmente em mulheres jovens e frequentemente após o período de lactação. As mulheres apresentam clinicamente massa endurecida, fixa, dolorosa, poupando a região retroareolar, associada a espessamento cutâneo, podendo ulcerar, simulando carcinoma. Descarga papilar pode estar presente e o envolvimento bilateral pode ocorrer em até 25% dos casos. Neste relato, apresentamos um caso típico de mastite granulomatosa idiopática, com confirmação histológica, destacando os aspectos de imagem, incluindo a ressonância magnética (RM), que possam favorecer o diagnóstico e possibilitar um melhor manejo clínico dessas pacientes.
