Diabetic fibrous mastopathy, also known as lymphocytic mastitis, is an uncommon lesion of the breast that occurs in women with long‐standing insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). To my knowledge, the fine‐needle aspiration findings of a histologically confirmed case of diabetic fibrous mastopathy have not been previously described and illustrated in the cytology literature.
