“…The EN is a rare systemic symptom of IGM, first described by Adams et al in 1987 8 . The EN and IGM association is rare, reported with case reports and series 9‐15 . Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, it is the only systemic and extra‐breast finding of IGM.…”

“…8 The EN and IGM association is rare, reported with case reports and series. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, it is the only systemic and extra-breast finding of IGM. However, no studies were reported before elaborating the significance of both entities' coexistence on the severity of IGM and response to conventional treatment.…”

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis with erythema nodosum: Is it a variant of clinical presentation indicating treatment resistance? A retrospective cohort study

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) rarely occurs with erythema nodosum (EN) as a systemic finding. However, the impact of their coexistence on disease severity and response to steroids has not been investigated yet. Patients diagnosed with IGM between September 2014 and October 2018 were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of EN during the first admission retrospectively. The IGM was more severe in patients with EN as it was presented more often as bilateral and diffuse involvement of the breast. Findings of mastitis did not resolve with steroids in 50% of this group. Repetitive excisions and mastectomy with reconstructions were required to control the disease. Coexistence of EN and IGM was found to be related to bilateral and aggressive involvement, which could be associated with insufficient response to steroids. Associated patients should be informed in terms of the aggressive course, and surgery can be highlighted as a first-line treatment.

“…Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a subtype of panniculitis with granulomatous in ammation; Kessler and Wolloch rst described it as an uncommon disease of females in child bearing age which can mimic various malignant and in ammatory disorders (4). The initial differential diagnosis in more than 50% of reported cases is malignancy or suspicion of breast carcinoma, with 15% of patients may present with regional lymphadenopathy (5).…”

Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease that involves the development of an inflammatory mass in the breast, which may be difficult to differentiate from malignancy. Few patients have been reported in the literature presenting with arthritis accompanying IGM of breast. Here we report a case of Iraqi patient presented as IGM with reactive arthritis and erythema nodosum.
