Abstract

Objective: The objective of our study is to describe the mammographic and sonographic appearances of granulomatous mastitis.

Conclusion: Granulomatous mastitis can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and mammographically, but the sonographic appearance of multiple clustered, often contiguous tubular hypoechoic lesions that are sometimes associated with a large hypoechoic mass should suggest the possibility of granulomatous mastitis.
