Granulomatous mastitis (GM) an inflammatory disease of the breast that usually affects women of childbearing age, occurs very rarely in males.
We present a case study of a 50-year-old male patient with GM. The patient developed a breast lump following the cleaning of a previously embedded dirt-filled nipple. While an initial improvement was noted with antibiotic therapy, a recurrence occurred a year later, showing resistance to the previously effective antibiotics. Subsequently, the lesion was excised. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of GM.
GM should be considered a possible diagnosis of male breast masses.
肉芽肿性乳腺炎(GM)是一种乳腺炎症性疾病,通常影响育龄女性,在男性中极为罕见。
我们报告一例50岁男性肉芽肿性乳腺炎患者的病例。该患者在清理先前嵌有污垢的乳头后出现乳腺肿块。虽然抗生素治疗后最初症状有所改善,但一年后复发,对先前有效的抗生素产生耐药性。随后,切除了病变组织。组织病理学检查确诊为肉芽肿性乳腺炎。
肉芽肿性乳腺炎应被视为男性乳腺肿块的一种可能诊断。
