“…Atypical presentations of GCA can also present with undifferentiated constitutional symptoms (pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO), fatigue, weight loss) and organ-related ischaemia or inflammatory disorders including mucocutaneous (lingual and scalp necrosis, panniculitis),7–12 neurological (mononeuritis multiplex, cerebral vasculitis, cranial nerve palsies, acute stroke),13–17 ocular (uveitis, choroidal infarction),18–21 musculoskeletal (peripheral joint arthritis, focal myositis)22–24 and inflammatory pseudotumour (skin, uterine, breast),25–28 along with orchitis, myocardial infarction and mesenteric ischaemia 29–32…”

Two male patients aged above 70 years were investigated for chronic non-specific symptoms and evidence of significant systemic inflammation, but without classic ‘cranial symptoms’ of giant cell arteritis (GCA). Each patient had multiple non-diagnostic investigations, but finally extensive large-vessel vasculitis was revealed by whole body positron emission tomography/CT imaging. Both cases were confirmed to have GCA on temporal artery biopsy and responded well to initial high-dose prednisolone therapy. The patients successfully completed 12 months of steroid-sparing therapy with tocilizumab and achieved remission of their condition.

Autoimmune and systemic inflammatory diseases represent a heterogeneous group of immune-mediated conditions with a wide range of clinical presentations and various affected organs. Autoimmune diseases can present in the breast as localized disease or as part of systemic involvement. Although breast involvement is uncommon, the spectrum of imaging findings can include breast masses, axillary adenopathy, calcifications, and skin changes, the appearance of which can mimic breast cancer. Common etiologies include diabetic mastopathy, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic granulomatous mastitis, sarcoidosis, and Immunoglobulin-G4 related mastopathy. This educational review will present multimodality imaging findings of breast manifestations of systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and coexisting complications. It will also review how these disorders may affect breast cancer risk and breast cancer treatment options, including radiation therapy.
