Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare benign pathology of inflammation in the breast that commonly affects parous women of reproductive age and men although it is extremely rare. It has an unusual predilection for Hispanic women born outside of the United States, most notably in Mexico. Recently, this entity has been described more. However, the approach to management is still very controversial, and the approaches vary widely, although surgical approaches, including excision or mastectomy, have been less favored recently as a primary approach. Here, we present a case of a young female of reproductive age who presented initially with a suspicious breast lump diagnosed initially in the breast clinic as IGM and was referred to the rheumatology clinic for management with medical therapy.
特发性肉芽肿性乳腺炎（IGM）是一种罕见的乳腺良性炎症性病变，通常影响育龄经产妇和男性，尽管极为罕见。它对出生在美国境外的西班牙裔女性有异常偏好，最显著的是在墨西哥。最近，对这个实体的描述更多了。然而，治疗方法仍然很有争议，而且方法差异很大，尽管包括切除或乳房切除术在内的手术方法最近作为主要方法已不太受青睐。在此，我们报告一例育龄年轻女性病例，该患者最初因乳房可疑肿块就诊于乳腺诊所，最初被诊断为IGM，随后被转诊至风湿病诊所接受药物治疗。
