Diabetic fibrous mastopathy: sonographic-pathologic correlation.
Fibrous and inflammatory lesions of the breast in patients with early-onset, longstanding insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) can lead to misdiagnosis because the clinical, mammographic, and sonographic findings simulate breast cancer. We report a case of diabetic fibrous mastopathy with suspicious clinical, imaging, and cytologic findings.
