Identification of periductal mastitis and granulomatous lobular mastitis: a literature review

ABSTRACT:

Background and Objective

Non-puerperal mastitis (NPM) is a breast disease with poor clinical manifestations, which seriously affects women’s health and quality of life. Due to the low incidence rate of the disease and the paucity of related research, there is much misdiagnosis and mis-management of periductal mastitis (PDM) and granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM). Therefore, understanding the differences between PDM and GLM, in terms of etiology and clinical manifestations, is crucial for patient treatment and prognosis. At the same time, choosing different treatment methods may not achieve the best treatment effect, so the appropriate treatment method can often reduce the patient’s pain and reduce the recurrence of the patient’s disease.
