Clin Case Rep. 2021 Jul 9;9(7):e04416. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4416. eCollection 2021 Jul.

Abstract

Lupus mastitis is an uncommon SLE breast manifestation. Clinically, it can present itself as a malignant-like mass. Therefore, a tissue biopsy is warranted to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of this condition is pharmacological and directed to the underlying disease. The rarity of this entity demands a high degree of suspicion.

Keywords: breast; cancer; mastitis; systemic lupus erythematosus.
