Özet

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare inflammatory disease of the breast, for which there is a lack of consensus on the treatment protocol; it requires long-term follow-up and is associated with a high rate of relapse after surgical treatment. In this study, we report on the largest single-center cohort of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis treated with steroids + methotrexate.
