Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a chronic breast inflammatory condition with unknown causes, and it varies in symptoms and treatment approaches due to its complexity.
- IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a newly identified systemic condition that can mimic IGM, characterized by specific histological features and typically treated with immunosuppressive therapy.
- The researchers developed the Michigan Classification system to differentiate between IGM and IgG4-RD mastitis, analyzing 43 cases and identifying 17 cases of IgG4-RD and 8 of IGM, with the classification aiding in patient treatment strategies.
