  • Granulomatous Mastitis (GM) is a rare, benign breast condition that can resemble breast cancer, making accurate diagnosis essential to avoid unnecessary testing.
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in distinguishing between Non-specific Granulomatous Mastitis (NGM) and Tubercular Mastitis (TBM).
  • Results showed that both NGM and TBM primarily affected young women with unilateral breast lumps, but NGM was more likely to cause pain, and clinical and radiological findings often suggested malignancy, emphasizing the need for precise cytological evaluation.
