Granulomatous lobular mastitis.
Two cases of benign lobular granulomatous mastitis, both clinically felt to be carcinoma, are reported. One patient was cured by local excision of the mass while the other was cured by oral prednisolone, demonstrating the variable ways to treat this entity. The clinical and histological features were similar to those noted in previous reports. Immunological studies revealed predominantly stromal T lymphocytes and only duct intra-epithelial T lymphocytes.
