[Diabetic fibrous mastopathy: a case report].
Diabetic fibrous mastoplasty or diabetic fibrous breast disease is a benign condition rarely observed. First described in 1984, it can lead to misdiagnosis because it simulates breast cancer. Diabetic fibrous mastoplasty usually occurs in patients with autoimmune disorders, particularly in patients with longstanding and complicated insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. We present a case of fibrous mastoplasty in a patient with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus known for 17 years. The clinical and radiological features and the clinical course are illustrative. We discuss the different pathogenic theories put forward.
