title: Granulomatous mastitis: mammographic and sonographic appearances.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of our study is to describe the mammographic and sonographic appearances of granulomatous mastitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Granulomatous mastitis can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and mammographically, but the sonographic appearance of multiple clustered, often contiguous tubular hypoechoic lesions that are sometimes associated with a large hypoechoic mass should suggest the possibility of granulomatous mastitis.
