Abstract
Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum is a Gram positive bacillus from the skin microbiota. Sometimes it can produce recurrent fistulous mastitis associated with granulomas. Its prevalence is very low. The initial therapeutic approach is important to avoid progression. The histopathological and microbiological study is essential for its diagnosis. Differential diagnosis is made with tumor pathology. There is no established therapeutic scheme to which we can adhere. The initial treatment should be antibiotic therapy adjusted by antibiogram and corticosteroids. The evolution can be torpid despite correct treatment. In these cases, surgical treatment with partial or total resections of the breast can be considered.We present the case of a 44-year-old woman who came to the consultation with pain and induration in the lower internal quadrants of the left breast with the formation of fistulous tracts of years of evolution despite antibiotic and corticosteroid treatment.
