The present study describes a case of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis. The clinical and radiological findings of the patient were consistent with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. Cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis is a rare subtype of mastitis with a distinct histological pattern that is associated with the species. The diagnosis and treatment of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis remains a significant challenge due to the scarcity of available data. The present study describes a classic case of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis that includes clinical, radiological and histopathological findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case documenting radiological findings before and after treatment. This report encourages the consideration of this entity in the differential diagnoses of mastitis.
本研究描述了一例囊性中性粒细胞性肉芽肿性乳腺炎病例。该患者的临床和影像学表现与特发性肉芽肿性乳腺炎一致。囊性中性粒细胞性肉芽肿性乳腺炎是乳腺炎的一种罕见亚型,具有独特的组织学模式,与该物种相关。由于可用数据稀缺,囊性中性粒细胞性肉芽肿性乳腺炎的诊断和治疗仍然是一项重大挑战。本研究描述了一例囊性中性粒细胞性肉芽肿性乳腺炎的典型病例,包括临床、影像学和组织病理学表现。据我们所知,这是第一例记录治疗前后影像学表现的病例。本报告鼓励在乳腺炎的鉴别诊断中考虑这一实体。
