Granulomatous mastitis is indeed a rare affliction, but it can constitute a veritable diagnosis and treatment predicament for several reasons. The etiology of this disease remains shrouded in mystery and the treatment depends on the gravity and extension of the lesions, ranging from corticosteroids to surgical excision with an important recurrence rate. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with granulomatous mastitis for which clinical and radiological remission was obtained via medical treatment.
