Isolated eosinophilic infiltration of the breast

Indian J Radiol Imaging. 2016 Jul-Sep;26(3):383-385. doi: 10.4103/0971-3026.190407.

Abstract

We report the eighth case of eosinophilic mastitis and the first one without an association with peripheral eosinophilia or systemic involvement. A 51-year-old diabetic presented with a painful right breast lump. The mammogram, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging suggested a diagnosis of periductal mastitis, however, a sinister etiology of breast carcinoma could not be ruled out. Diagnosis was made by vacuum assisted biopsy which revealed features of eosinophilic mastitis.
