AI Article Synopsis
- IgG4-related mastitis is a rare breast disease that can be mistaken for breast cancer, requiring careful differentiation.
- There is no established best treatment approach for this condition, leading to varied management strategies.
- A reported case suggests that regular monitoring through imaging and serum marker measurements can be sufficient, potentially avoiding the need for surgery or steroids.
Article Abstract
IgG4-related mastitis is an extremely rare IgG4-related sclerosing disease involving the breast that must be differentiated from breast cancer. There is currently no consensus regarding the optimal treatment strategies. Here, we report a case of IgG4-related mastitis followed up without excision or steroid therapy. Although the association between IgG4-related mastitis and breast cancer remains unclear, regular follow-up imaging and measurement of serum concentrations of disease activity markers may allow for follow-up without excision or steroid therapy.
