Abstract
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis mainly affects women of childbearing age, mostly several months to years after breastfeeding. The etiopathogenesis is unknown to this day. Because clinical manifestations can mimic infectious mastitis or inflammatory carcinoma, the dia-gnostic process is often prolonged. The correct dia-gnosis is determined only on the basis of histopathological findings. To this day, there is no uniform consensus on the treatment of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. The chronic nature of the disease as well as the tendency to recurrences despite the benign nature of the disease affects the quality of life of patients. Case reports from the Gynecoly and Obstetrics Clinic in University Hospital in Trenčín also point to an adverse effect on womens lives.
