Abstract
Diabetic mastopathy is an uncommon benign entity occurring in young women with type 1 diabetes. Its clinical and radiological signs are not specific and often mimic a breast carcinoma. However, the benign nature of this lesion is easily recognized on histological examination, visualizing dense keloid-like fibrosis, lymphocytic lobulitis and ductitis with lymphocytic perivascular inflammation, with or without epithelioid-like fibroblasts. Surgery can generally be avoided. The evolution of this entity is characterized by the risk of local growth, bilateralisation or recurrence after surgical treatment. We present a case in which the core biopsy allowed the diagnosis of a diabetic mastopathy and we discuss its clinical, diagnostic, pathological and therapeutic particularities.
