Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a chronic breast inflammation, and recent studies evaluate intralesional steroid (ILS) injection and topical steroids as treatment options.
- A systematic review analyzed eight studies involving 397 patients, showing that ILS resulted in a 92.8% complete response rate, with minor complications and a mean response time of 2.6 months.
- ILS appears to have lower recurrence rates (6.6%) compared to oral steroids (25.8%) and surgery (26.3%), but further research is needed to establish standardized treatment protocols.
We present a case of primary angiosarcoma, an exceedingly rare malignant breast lesion, in a 21-year-old female patient with unilateral breast enlargement. Primary angiosarcoma is an aggressive form of breast cancer with variable presentation and limited clinical experience due to the rarity of the disease. Despite an initial diagnostic challenge, this report showcases the importance of a systematic diagnostic approach and multidisciplinary management in the context of uncommon breast lesions in young patients.
