Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare and chronic benign disease of the breast. Histologically, the disease presents as an intense inflammatory reaction with non-caseated granulomas that are the characteristic symptom of the disease. No consensus exists on the best treatment modality for this disease. In this report, we present a patient with granulomatous mastitis who was treated successfully with low-dose oral and topical steroids. Our aim here is to discuss various approaches for IGM in view of the literature and present treatment with topical steroids, which has not been reported.
特发性肉芽肿性乳腺炎（IGM）是一种罕见的慢性良性乳腺疾病。组织学上，该疾病表现为强烈的炎症反应，伴有非干酪样肉芽肿，这是该疾病的特征性症状。对于这种疾病，尚无最佳治疗方式的共识。在本报告中，我们介绍了一位成功接受低剂量口服和局部皮质类固醇治疗的肉芽肿性乳腺炎患者。我们旨在根据文献讨论 IGM 的各种治疗方法，并介绍局部皮质类固醇治疗方法，这在之前的报道中尚未涉及。
