Clinical Trial Summary

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare, chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast, of unknown etiology. Pathologically, GLM typically manifests as non-caseating granulomatous lesions with leukomonocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils and multinucleated giant cells, located in the center of breast lobules. With a rapidly increasing morbidity in the last two decades, GLM tends to occur in child-bearing women with a prolonged and recurrent course. Intralesional injection and topical corticosteroids can effectively reduce the side effects, especially in patients suffering from concomitant skin lesions (e.g., fistula, skin erosions, ulcers).For patients with diffuse disease, recurrence, or ineffective conservative treatment, wide local excision can be applied.
