Abstract
Purpose Periductal mastitis (PDM) is a chronic inflammatory lesion of the breast with an unknown etiology, and it is difficult for clinicians to differentiate it from granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), although they have different treatment strategies and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the differences in their clinicopathologic features to inform treatment strategies. Patients and Methods Between 2011 and 2020, 121 patients diagnosed with PDM and 57 patients with GLM were retrospective analysis. Patient data were extracted on demographics, clinical presentation, pathologic characteristics, treatments and clinical response. Histopathological evaluations were performed on core needle biopsy specimens. Immunohistochemical stains using antibodies against CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20, and CD138 was performed to define immune cell infiltration. Results PDM patients had a higher median age compared to GLM patients (38 vs 32, p<0.001). PDM was primarily located in the areolar area, while GLM predominantly affected the peripheral quadrant of the breast (56.20% vs 75.44%, p<0.001). Histopathologically, more ductal dilatation (90.08% vs 3.51%, p<0.001), ductal wall thickening (47.93% vs 1.75%, p<0.001), and ductal rupture (44.63% vs 5.26%, p<0.001) were observed in PDM. GLM presented with significantly more granuloma (94.74% vs 10.74%, p<0.001), microabscess (68.42% vs 28.93%, p<0.001), and lipid vacuole (40.35% vs 8.26%, p<0.001) formation than PDM. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a significant presence of CD20+ B lymphocytes in PDM and a higher prevalence of CD8+ T lymphocytes in GLM, indicating differing immune responses. Treatment outcomes varied, with PDM patients responding well to surgery and anti-mycobacterial therapy, while GLM patients showed favorable responses to steroid therapy. Conclusion PDM is a specific entity with a similar clinical presentation but distinct histopathological features and immune profiles to GLM. Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis and optimize therapeutic approaches for these breast inflammatory conditions.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1346790. [PMID: 38873201 PMCID: PMC11170159 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1346790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The major aim of our meta-analysis was to review the effectiveness of various treatment modalities for achieving successful remission and preventing recurrence for women with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM). This knowledge is instrumental in developing evidence-based guidelines for clinicians to improve management strategies and outcomes for patients with IGM. Methods A systematic literature search was performed on MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Elsevier), PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar; studies published to 19 January 2022 were included. A meta-analysis of 57 observational studies was performed. The results of two randomized controlled trials were also examined. Results There were 3,035 IGM patients across the observational and randomised studies. Overall recurrence and remission rates across all treatment strategies in 59 studies are 87.9% (2,667/3035) and 13.5% (359/2667), respectively. The studies reported 19 different treatment strategies, comprising observation, medical monotherapies, surgery, and combinations involving medical therapies, with and without surgery. Among monotherapy treatment, surgical management had the highest pooled remission rate (0.99 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.97-1.00]); among combination therapy, this was steroids and surgery (0.99 [0.94-1.00]). Antibiotic monotherapy had the lowest remission rate (0.72 [0.37-0.96]). The highest recurrence rates belonged to treatments that combined antibiotics and surgery (0.54 [0.02-1.00]), and antibiotics, steroids, and surgery (0.57 [0.00-1.00]). Most successful for preventing recurrence were observation (0.03 [0.00-0.10]), methotrexate (0.08 [0.00-0.24]), and steroids and surgery (0.05 [0.01-0.12]). There is a significant association between longer follow-up duration and recurrence rate reported, p = 0.002. Conclusion Combination therapies, especially those incorporating antibiotics, steroids, and surgery, have demonstrated higher remission rates, challenging the use of antibiotic monotherapy. There is an increased emphasis on the need for personalised, multi-pronged approach for preventing IGM recurrence, with longer follow-up care. More prospective future work in IGM research, with standardised diagnostic criteria, treatment protocols, and reporting guidelines will be important for developing treatment protocols and guidelines clinicians can adhere to in the clinical management of IGM patients.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO (CRD42022301386).

Indian J Tuberc 2024; 71:163-169. [PMID: 38589120 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijtb.2023.04.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of choice for granulomatous mastitis (GM) has yet to be determined but few studies have demonstrated that anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) could be an effective alternative therapeutic option. Hence, the objective of the current study is to determine the clinical feature, radiological imaging findings, and histopathological examination results exhibited by GM and tuberculosis (TB)-proven GM as well as to evaluate the ATT clinical outcome in GM patients. METHODS The study was performed on 68 GM patients who were referred to the department of pulmonology by the breast clinic (from January 2018 to August 2021). Study populations were categorized into two groups GM and TB-proven GM patients and all were prescribed with standard ATT regimen and were continuously followed up. SPSS version 25 was employed for statistical assessment. RESULTS Our study showed that 6 patients from GM and 4 patients from the TB-proven GM group got relapsed. For patients who displayed partial remission, ATT treatment was started after assessing the side effects potential. 14.6% (n = 6) and 7.4% (n = 2) patients who initially demonstrated partial remission were also completely cured. ATT treatment curable rate was determined to be 90% (n = 37) and 81.5% (n = 22) for GM and TB-proven GM patients correspondingly. Therefore, the current study demonstrated nil significant differences between groups. CONCLUSION The current study warrants that ATT therapy could be an effective and better treatment of choice for GM patients irrespective of their clinical condition.

Treatment modalities for granulomatous mastitis, seeking the most appropriate treatment with the least recurrence rate: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:164. [PMID: 38475841 PMCID: PMC10929103 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-024-01761-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare, benign, inflammatory breast disease with an unknown etiology that predominantly affects women of reproductive age. The definitive treatment of GM is currently controversial; an appropriate therapeutic strategy has yet to be identified, and the disease's high recurrence rate remains. This study aims to determine the recurrence rate for each GM treatment strategy to identify the most appropriate treatment modality. METHODS The search for relevant articles was undertaken using three international databases, including Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science. Articles published in English until the end of 2021 evaluating the recurrence rate of GM were included. Using Stata 13.0, the pooled incidence and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the recurrence rate were determined. RESULTS Sixty-five eligible studies were included in our study. The recurrence rates of systemic steroid use, topical steroid use, antibiotic use, methotrexate use, observation, drainage, excision, antibiotic use and surgery, steroid use and surgery, antibiotic and steroid use, methotrexate and steroid use were 24% (95% CI: 21-27%), 11% (95% CI: 6-21%), 18% (95% CI: 14-22%), 13% (95% CI: 7-22%), 11% (95% CI: 7-17%), 65% (95% CI: 50-78%), 13% (95% CI: 10-16%), 23% (95% CI: 14-36%), 7% (95% CI: 5-11%), 11% (95% CI: 6-18%), and 4% (95% CI: 2-8%), respectively. Drainage had the highest recurrence rate, while combined methotrexate and steroid treatment had the lowest rate. CONCLUSION The optimal treatment strategy for GM depends on the disease's severity, consequences, and the patient's features. The study results indicate that combination therapy is preferable for minimizing the risk of relapse and reducing treatment complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety of rifampicin-based triple therapy (rifampicin, isoniazid, and ethambutol) for treating NPM. METHODS This single-center, single-arm, prospective clinical trial was conducted at the Second Hospital of Shandong University (Jinan, China). Patients with pathologically diagnosed granulomatous lobular mastitis and periductal mastitis received triple drugs, i.e., rifampicin (450 mg/day), isoniazid (300 mg/day), and ethambutol (15 mg/kg/day), until complete response or the investigator decided to discontinue treatment. The primary endpoint was the complete response rate (CRR) assessed by the investigator. The secondary endpoints included the overall remission rate (ORR), recurrence rate (RR), and safety. RESULTS A total of 218 patients were enrolled in the study between January 1, 2013 and October 31, 2020. With a median follow-up time of 48 months, the CRR and the ORR were 78.44% and 94.04%, respectively. While 13 patients (5.96%) demonstrated no response and 19 relapsed (8.72%). Adverse events (AEs) were not common. The most common AEs during treatment were liver dysfunction (1.83%), gastrointestinal reactions (1.83%), fatigue (1.83%), erythema (1.38%), and menstrual disorders (0.92%). CONCLUSION Rifampicin, isoniazid, and ethambutol demonstrated promising response rates with acceptable safety profiles in patients with NPM. Further confirmatory trial is warranted in the future. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Hospital of Shandong University and retrospectively registered at the China Clinical Trial Registration Center (registration number: ChiCTR2100049591).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractory granulomatous mastitis (RGM) is a chronic benign breast disease that commonly occurred in women of childbearing age and is usually treated with surgery, with numerous cases suffering from unsatisfied postoperative recovery of breast shape, high rates of surgical complications, and even high recurrence. This study tries to evaluate the efficacy of an innovative surgical procedure, the rotational gland dissection for the treatment of RGM. METHODS 129 patients with RGM who underwent surgical treatment at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between Apr. 2017 and May. 2021 were retrospectively included in this study. The article analyzed the age, local symptoms, lesion location, and size, days in hospital, recurrence rate, and satisfaction rate of the patients. RESULTS Patients ranged in age from 19 to 58 years, with a median age of onset of 32 years. In 63 patients (48.84%), their lesions coverage exceeded two quadrants, and 52.71% of patients had lesions larger than 10 cm2. The average days in hospital of patients was 7.5 days, and 85.27% of them were satisfied with their post-surgery breast appearance. Within the median follow-up of 56 months, only 3.10% of patients experienced a recurrence of mastitis on the operation side. CONCLUSION This novel surgical procedure we created is an effective treatment for RGM with a high success rate, high patient satisfaction, and low recurrence rate, and is significantly superior to other studies for it has the largest sample size and longest follow-up in this field.

Abstract
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare and benign disease that primarily affects young women of reproductive age. Various factors have been suggested as possible causes, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, history of taking birth control pills, hyperprolactinemia, smoking, and history of trauma. Due to unknown etiology, opinions on its treatment have varied, resulting in differing recurrence rates and side effects. Therefore, conducting a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis can aid in understanding the causes and recurrence of the disease, thereby assisting in the selection of effective treatment and improving the quality of life. A systematic literature review was conducted using predefined search terms to identify eligible studies related to risk factors and recurrence up to June 2022 from electronic databases. Data were extracted and subjected to meta-analysis when applicable. A total of 71 studies with 4735 patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 34.98 years, and the average mass size was 4.64 cm. About 3749 of these patients (79.17%) were Caucasian. Patients who mentioned a history of pregnancy were 92.65% with 76.57%, 22.7%, and 19.7% having a history of breastfeeding, taking contraceptive pills, and high prolactin levels, respectively. Around 5.6% of patients had previous trauma. The overall recurrence rate was 17.18%, with recurrence rates for treatments as follows: surgery (22.5%), immunosuppressive treatment (14.7%), combined treatment (14.9%), antibiotic treatment (6.74%), and observation (9.4%). Only antibiotic and expectant treatments had significant differences in recurrence rates compared to other treatments (p value = 0.023). In conclusion, factors such as Caucasian race, pregnancy and breastfeeding history, and use of contraceptive hormone are commonly associated with the disease recurrence. Treatment should be tailored based on symptom severity and patient preference, with surgery or immunosuppressive options for recurrence.

Abstract
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a chronic inflammatory breast disease. Currently, there is no international standard for steroid use in IGM, particularly for intralesional steroid injections. This study aimed to determine whether patients with IGM who received oral steroids could benefit from intralesional steroid injection. We analyzed 62 patients with IGM whose main clinical presentation was mastitis masses and who received preoperative steroid therapy. Group A (n = 34) received combined steroid treatment: oral steroids (starting dose, 0.25 mg/kg/d; tapered off) and intralesional steroid injection (20 mg per session). Group B (n = 28) received oral steroids only (starting dose, 0.5 mg/kg/d; tapered off). Both groups underwent lumpectomy at the end of steroid treatment. We analyzed the preoperative treatment time, preoperative mass maximum diameter reduction rate, side effects, postoperative satisfaction, and rate of IGM recurrence. The mean age of the 62 participants was 33.6 ± 2.3 (range, 26-46) years, and all had unilateral disease. We found that oral steroids combined with intralesional steroid injection yielded better therapeutic effects than did oral steroids alone. The median maximum diameter reduction of the breast mass was 52.06% in group A and 30.00% in group B (P = .002). Moreover, the use of intralesional steroids reduced the duration of oral steroid use; the median durations of preoperative steroid therapy were 4 and 7 weeks in groups A and B, respectively (P < .001). Group A patients were more satisfied (P = .035) with the postoperative results, including postoperative appearance and function. No statistically significant between-group differences were noted regarding side effects and recurrence rates. Preoperative administration of oral steroids combined with intralesional steroid injection yielded better therapeutic effects than did oral steroids alone and may be an effective future treatment for IGM.

Front Surg 2023; 10:1187811. [PMID: 37396291 PMCID: PMC10311996 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1187811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is characterized by nonspecific chronic inflammation concentrated in breast lobules. Surgical resection is one of the most common treatment options for GLM. On the basis of our previous use of Breast Dermo-Glandular Flap (BDGF), we designed a new surgical approach for GLM, especially for cases where the focus is close to the nipple. Here we describe this new treatment approach. Methods In Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) and Beijing Dangdai Hospital during January 2020-June 2021, we enrolled all 18 GLM patients who underwent surgery with the use of Dermis-Retained BDGF. All patients were women; most of the patients were 18-50 years old (88%); and the most common clinical manifestation of GLM was breast mass (60%). Then, we collected and analyzed data about the surgery and outcomes (drainage tubes moving time, relapse, patients' shape satisfaction). We regarded GLM recurrence on the same side as relapse. If there was no complication and the patient's satisfaction was excellent or good, we rated the surgery as successful. We recorded the occurrence of all common postsurgical complications of the breast. Results The debridement area was 3-5.5 (4.3 ± 0.7) cm; surgery time was 78-119 (95.6 ± 11.6) min; and mean debridement time (27.8 ± 8.9 min) was shorter than the time to obtain and transplant the flap (47.5 ± 12.9 min). Blood loss was less than 139 ml. As for bacterial culture, two patients had positive results, but they had no symptoms. No surgery-related complications happened. In terms of the outcomes, all of the drainage tubes were removed in less than 5 days, and only one patient experienced relapse after 1 year of surgery during the follow-up. The patients' satisfaction with the breast shape was as follows: excellent (50%), good (22%), acceptable (22%), and poor (6%). Conclusion For GLM patients refractory to conservative therapy or former unsatisfactory surgical management whose lesion is in the vicinity of the nipple and larger than 3 cm, Dermis-Retained BDGF is a suitable approach to fill the after-debridement defect below the nipple-areola and achieve a relatively satisfactory cosmetic outcome.

MEDICAL ONCOLOGY (NORTHWOOD, LONDON, ENGLAND) 2022; 39:238. [PMID: 36175807 DOI: 10.1007/s12032-022-01845-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is a disease that clinically mimics breast cancers with symptoms of pain, edema, erythema, nipple discharge, nipple retraction, and fistula. Although IGM is considered to be formed by autoimmune responses or infections, the molecular mechanism behind formation and progress is unknown. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying IGM formation, progress, and recurrence by monitoring the changes at the proteome level. Protein extracts prepared from IGM (n = 15) and within-control tissues (n = 15) were subjected to nHPLC followed by LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis. Label-free quantitation analysis revealed that sixty differentially regulated between the two groups. Those proteins were classified based on their role in metabolic pathways using bioinformatics tools. Based on DAVID analysis, 16 of the differently regulated proteins were associated with the immune system, while 17 proteins were involved in cancer metabolism. STRING analysis showed that five of the differentially regulated proteins were associated with combined immune deficiency which were PNP, TAP1, ITGAL, PRKDC, and PTPRC while the other proteins were involved in insulin response and neutrophil degranulation. This study is one of the very few studies that investigated the changes in protein expressions of IGM tissues compared to controls. For the first time, we have shown the relationship of IGM with the immune system at the protein level and also underlined the cancer-like behavior of the disease. Furthermore, the proteins that were pointed out as combined immune deficiency-related proteins may have value as diagnostic markers for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis although further studies are needed to shed more light on the pathogenesis of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GM), an inflammatory breast lesion with unknown etiology, is prone to recur. There is no global consensus on the optimal treatment at present. This study was conducted to show our step-by-step systemic procedure and discuss the recurrence risk factors of GM. METHODS The medical record database was retrospectively searched for patients with GM treated in our hospital between January 2015 and September 2021. Patients were divided into non-recurrence group (group A) and recurrence group (group B). Demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment and follow-up were collected and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 885 GM patients were included in our study, all of whom received step-by-step systemic management. The mean age was 33.2 ± 5.2 years. There were 760 (85.9%) patients in group A and 125 (14.1%) in group B. Univariate analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in size of mass, pregnancy, hyperprolactinemia, bacterial cultures, erythema nodosum. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with purulent nipple discharge, skin lesion, bilateral disease and patients who need the combination of surgery and medication to achieve complete remission had higher risk of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS We built a step-by-step systemic procedure for GM, and the recurrence rate was 14.1%. Prolactin level and microbiological results are important for the management of GM. Purulent nipple discharge, skin lesion, bilateral disease and patients who need the combination of surgery and medication to achieve complete remission are associated with GM recurrence. Prolonged maintenance therapy may secure a better prognosis.

Abstract
Background: Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GM) is a rare inflammatory breast disease. Reports focusing on GM caused by antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) are very rare. Aim: To report a study of GM associated with antipsychotic-induced HPRL and discuss the mechanism and management. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of patients with GM and psychiatric disorders were carried out. The clinical characteristics, management and outcome were collected and analyzed. The relationship between antipsychotics and GM was evaluated using the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale (Naranjo scale). Results: Nineteen female GM patients with psychiatric diseases, aged 21-39 years, who had received antipsychotics for 0.5-10.2 years were included. Most patients took multiple antipsychotics, and 10 (52.6%) took risperidone-containing regimens. Increased prolactin (PRL) was detected in all patients (range 35.15-200 ng/mL). The scores of Naranjo scale were 7-8, indicated the antipsychotics probably induced GM. All patients received systemic therapy, and were prescribed bromocriptine. Seven patients (36.8%) decreased the dose of antipsychotics, six (31.6%) switched antipsychotics, three (15.8%) continued the primary antipsychotics, and three (15.8%) discontinued antipsychotics. In addition, 14 patients (73.7%) received corticosteroid, 4 (21.1%) received antimycobacterials. PRL decreased to normal in 1 month. Seven patients (36.8%) received excisional surgery. After 12 months' follow-up (range 9-56 months), only three patients (15.8%) had a recurrence. Conclusion: Long-term use of antipsychotics may increase PRL levels, and lead to GM. It is vital to assess PRL level and reduce PRL to normal in patients with GM.

Abstract
Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare and chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast. Difficulties exist in the management of GLM for many front-line surgeons and medical specialists who care for patients with inflammatory disorders of the breast. This consensus is summarized to establish evidence-based recommendations for the management of GLM. Literature was reviewed using PubMed from January 1, 1971 to July 31, 2020. Sixty-six international experienced multidisciplinary experts from 11 countries or regions were invited to review the evidence. Levels of evidence were determined using the American College of Physicians grading system, and recommendations were discussed until consensus. Experts discussed and concluded 30 recommendations on historical definitions, etiology and predisposing factors, diagnosis criteria, treatment, clinical stages, relapse and recurrence of GLM. GLM was recommended as a widely accepted definition. In addition, this consensus introduced a new clinical stages and management algorithm for GLM to provide individual treatment strategies. In conclusion, diagnosis of GLM depends on a combination of history, clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, laboratory examinations and pathology. The approach to treatment of GLM should be applied according to the different clinical stage of GLM. This evidence-based consensus would be valuable to assist front-line surgeons and medical specialists in the optimal management of GLM.

Systems Biology–Derived Genetic Signatures of Mastitis in Dairy Cattle: A New Avenue for Drug Repurposing. Animals (Basel) 2021; 12:ani12010029. [PMID: 35011134 PMCID: PMC8749881 DOI: 10.3390/ani12010029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 11/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Therapeutic success of bovine mastitis depends mainly on accurately diagnosing the type of pathogen involved. Despite the development prospects for bovine mastitis diagnosis, including new biomarker discovery to target specific pathogens with high sensitivity and specificity, treatment studies have shown controversial results, and the most efficient, safe, and economical treatments for mastitis are still topics of scientific debate. The goal of this research is the integration of different levels of systems biology data to predict candidate drugs for the control and management of E. coli mastitis. We propose that the novel drugs could be used by pharmaceutical scientists or veterinarians to find commercially efficacious medicines. Abstract Mastitis, a disease with high incidence worldwide, is the most prevalent and costly disease in the dairy industry. Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) are assumed to be among the leading agents causing acute severe infection with clinical signs. E. Coli, environmental mastitis pathogens, are the primary etiological agents of bovine mastitis in well-managed dairy farms. Response to E. Coli infection has a complex pattern affected by genetic and environmental parameters. On the other hand, the efficacy of antibiotics and/or anti-inflammatory treatment in E. coli mastitis is still a topic of scientific debate, and studies on the treatment of clinical cases show conflicting results. Unraveling the bio-signature of mastitis in dairy cattle can open new avenues for drug repurposing. In the current research, a novel, semi-supervised heterogeneous label propagation algorithm named Heter-LP, which applies both local and global network features for data integration, was used to potentially identify novel therapeutic avenues for the treatment of E. coli mastitis. Online data repositories relevant to known diseases, drugs, and gene targets, along with other specialized biological information for E. coli mastitis, including critical genes with robust bio-signatures, drugs, and related disorders, were used as input data for analysis with the Heter-LP algorithm. Our research identified novel drugs such as Glibenclamide, Ipratropium, Salbutamol, and Carbidopa as possible therapeutics that could be used against E. coli mastitis. Predicted relationships can be used by pharmaceutical scientists or veterinarians to find commercially efficacious medicines or a combination of two or more active compounds to treat this infectious disease.

Abstract
Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a chronic inflammatory breast condition that is characterized by granulomatous inflammation. GLM remains a refractory disease due to its failure to respond to routine anti-inflammatory therapies and its high recurrence rate. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the application of local heat therapy in GLM as a potential therapeutic strategy. The results revealed that the application of local heat therapy was associated with a shortened remission time for GLM, while the remission and recurrence rates were similar to those of existing therapies. The median first remission time following local heat therapy was significantly decreased compared with that following corticosteroid therapy (5.30 months vs. 11.27 months; P<0.05). The remission rates were not significantly different between the local heat therapy (76.9%), extensive excision (90.4%) and the corticosteroid therapy (85.7%) groups (P>0.05). In addition, the recurrence rates were not statistically different between the groups (local heat therapy, 8.3%; extensive excision, 10%; and corticosteroid therapy, 10%; P>0.05). The local heat therapy showed mild adverse effects and shortened healing times compared to the other therapies; however, further confirmation is required.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Associations between granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) and Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii have been reported since 2002, but large scale studies to assess the actual prevalence of this bacterium in GLM have not been performed. OBJECTIVE.— To assess the prevalence of C kroppenstedtii in GLM using real-time polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. DESIGN.— We analyzed formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 67 cases of GLM by sequential DNA amplification and sequencing to assess the rate of C kroppenstedtii detection in GLM. A retrospective analysis including patient demographics, history of pregnancy and lactation, clinical signs and symptoms, radiographic findings, histologic pattern, Gram stain results, and microbial cultures was performed on 67 cases of GLM. In addition, 10 cases of nongranulomatous breast abscess were included as controls. RESULTS.— C kroppenstedtii 16S rRNA SYBR real-time polymerase chain reaction was positive on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 46 of 67 (68.7%) GLM cases, while all control cases were negative. Among the positive cases, the majority showed features of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis. CONCLUSIONS.— C kroppenstedtii was highly prevalent in GLM cases and was not found to be associated with nongranulomatous breast abscess in our study (P < .001).

Abstract
Mastitis frequently affects women of childbearing age. Of all the pathological breast conditions requiring specific management, autoimmune mastitis is in the third position after infection and breast cancer. The aim of this literature review was to make a comprehensive description of autoimmune diseases targeting the mammary gland. Four main histological patterns of autoimmune mastitis are described: (i) lymphocytic infiltrates; (ii) ductal ectasia; (iii) granulomatous mastitis; and (iv) vasculitis. Our literature search found that all types of autoimmune disease may target the mammary gland: organ-specific diseases (diabetes, thyroiditis); connective tissue diseases (such as systemic erythematosus lupus or Sjögren’s syndrome); vasculitides (granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, giant cell arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, Behçet’s disease); granulomatous diseases (sarcoidosis, Crohn’s disease); and IgG4-related disease. Cases of breast-specific autoimmune diseases have also been reported, including idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. These breast-limited inflammatory diseases are sometimes the first symptom of a systemic autoimmune disease. Although autoimmune mastitis is rare, it is probably underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Early diagnosis may allow us to detect systemic diseases at an earlier stage, which could help to initiate a prompt, appropriate therapeutic strategy. In case of suspected autoimmune mastitis, we hereby propose a diagnostic pathway and discuss the potential pathophysiological pathways leading to autoimmune breast damage.

The Role of Establishing a Multidisciplinary Team for Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis in Improving Patient Outcomes and Spreading Awareness about Recent Disease Trends. Int J Breast Cancer 2020; 2020:5243958. [PMID: 32411481 PMCID: PMC7204166 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5243958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2019] [Revised: 11/21/2019] [Accepted: 11/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Iidiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is stereotypically described as a mysterious entity that mimics breast carcinoma imposing management challenges. In 2002, we established a multidisciplinary team to treat patients with IGM. This study aimed to evaluate the role of this team in improving patient outcomes. Also, a review of literature is provided to highlight recent disease trends. Patients and Methods. Pertinent data for 44 patients treated for IGM from 2002 to 2018 were analyzed and compared to data prior to 2002. Results Mean age at diagnosis was 37.9 years ± 6.4. The diagnosis of IGM was confirmed by True-cut biopsy (TCB), Frozen section (FS), and surgical biopsy in 70.5%, 25%, and 4.5% of patients, respectively. FS was used to assess the resection margins in three patients. Suspicion for malignancy was raised in one out of 39 ultrasound reports, and one out of 20 mammography reports. Wide local excision was the main treatment modality (95.5%). 19 patients (43.2%) received corticosteroids. Prior to 2002, IGM was only recognized after surgical resection with a 71% initial false impression of carcinoma. After 2002, the initial false clinical impression of carcinoma dropped to 29.5%. Recurrence rate was 31.82%. Younger age at diagnosis was significantly associated with recurrence (χ 2 = 5.598; p = 0.018). Chi-square analysis showed no significant association between BMI and recurrence (χ 2 = 0.776; p = 0.678). Conclusion The establishment of a multidisciplinary team for IGM was associated with a reduced erroneous impression of breast cancer, and a reduced false positive radiological diagnosis of breast carcinoma. FS was a useful confirmatory procedure. Our series included the first case of a diffuse papular rash as a systemic manifestation of IGM. Recent literature indicates that IGM is changing its face. IGM is being reported in all age groups, and even in males. The clinical manifestations have markedly expanded. Diagnosis by TCB has replaced blind surgical excision. More data regarding predictors of recurrence is accumulating.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) can clinically and radiographically mimic an abscess or breast cancer. Although IGM is benign, it can cause the breast skin to appear "riddled with holes" and can even result in the loss of the breast. The optimal treatment has not been established. METHODS We retrospectively studied the medical records of 200 patients with IGM who were treated for skin rupture from June 2015 to June 2017 in our institute. The patients' treatment modalities (including surgery after steroid therapy and steroid therapy alone), outcomes, and scores of satisfaction questionnaires were analyzed. The time to healing and recurrence rate were compared with a focus on the treatment modalities to identify the most effective treatments for IGM. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 15.64 months (range, 12-36 months). In total, 156 patients were treated with surgery after steroid therapy and 44 were treated with steroid therapy alone. The median times to healing in the surgical and nonsurgical groups were 25 and 258 days, respectively (p = 0.003). Four of 156 (2.56%) patients developed post-excision wound complications. Eight of 156 patients (5.1%) in the surgical group and 10 of 44 (22.7%) patients in the nonsurgical group developed recurrence (p < 0.01). The scores of the satisfaction questionnaire were 36 ± 4.28 in the surgical group and 24 ± 8.62 in the nonsurgical group (p = 0.017). CONCLUSION IGM is a benign disease but can have serious consequences. Surgery after steroid therapy is an effective and more satisfactory treatment than steroid therapy alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is an inflammatory breast disease of unknown aetiology. It poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges with myriad forms of clinical presentation, varying results to treatments and propensity to recur. This study aims to look at clinical and treatment factors that predispose to recurrence of GM. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 113 patients in our unit with histologically proven GM from 2006 to 2016. Demographic, clinical, treatment and outcomes data were collected and analysed. RESULTS Eighty-nine patients were treated with antibiotics (78.8%), 79 (69.9%) with steroids and 23 (20.4%) patients underwent surgery. Twenty (17.7%) patients had recurrence. Patients who presented with inflammatory signs and symptoms had increased odds of having subsequent recurrence: skin changes (1.50), pain (2.00), fistula (4.39) and antibiotic treatment (6.65). Four patients (20%) with recurrence had positive bacterial cultures. All 4 grew Corynebacterium. Patients with Corynebacterium infection had a 2.64 times higher risk of recurrence. Surgery did not preclude recurrence. There was a 70% (7/10) penicillin resistance rate in our patients with positive cultures for Corynebacterium. CONCLUSION Initial presentation with inflammatory signs and symptoms may confer increased risk of recurrence, warranting closer monitoring. Corynebacterium infection may play a part as a causative factor and risk factor for recurrence. Non-penicillin antibiotics should be considered as first-line antibiotics for patients presenting with inflammatory changes. Further prospective studies with larger patient populations might reveal information on the aetiology of GM and result in the development of a more standardized and effective treatment regimen.

Abstract
Background Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare chronic inflammatory condition of the breast. The purpose of this study was to describe antituberculous treatment of GLM and the long-term follow-up outcome. Methods This retrospective study included 22 patients who had been histopathologically diagnosed with GLM at the Second Hospital of Shandong University from January 2011 to March 2015. Clinical characteristics, ultrasonography and mammography findings, laboratory tests, treatment regimens, follow-up information, and recurrences were recorded. Results All patients were female with a median age of 29 (range 23-44) years. The most common symptom was a breast mass with or without pain. Large irregular hypoechoic masses could be found in the breast ultrasounds of 13 patients. All patients received triple antituberculous therapy. During a median follow-up period of 40 months, 3 patients were lost to follow-up; of the remaining 19 patients, 18 achieved clinical complete remission and no recurrences were observed. Conclusion GLM is an unusual benign breast condition that mimics breast carcinoma in its clinical and imaging presentation. Antituberculous therapy seems to be an effective alternative option in the treatment of GLM.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine possible risk factors for recurrence development in patients with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM). Demographic, clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic characteristics of 34 consecutive patients with IGM were retrospectively reviewed. Also, 32 patients who were informed about recurrence status were divided into non-recurrent (n = 27) and recurrent (n = 5) groups. Both groups were compared for demographic and clinical parameters. This study included 34 female patients with IGM aged between 26 and 70 years (median: 38 years). During the follow-up period, no recurrence occurred in 27 patients whereas recurrence developed in 5 patients. No significant difference was found between the groups with respect to age, lesion size, breast-feeding, number of child, marital status, use of oral contraceptive, familial or personal tuberculosis history, PPD test, smoking, lesion side, lesion location on the breast, and treatment choice. The diagnostic tools of the IGM as follows: tru-cut (n = 18); incisional (n = 6); tru-cut + incisional (n = 5); tru-cut + excisional (n = 2); tru-cut + FNAB (n = 1); FNAB + excisional (n = 1) and FNAB (n = 1). Treatment options were as follow: antibiotics + drainage (n = 10); antibiotics + drainage + corticosteroid (n = 9); wait and watch (n = 6); corticosteroid (n = 3); antibiotics + antituberculous (n = 1); antituberculous (n = 1); antibiotics + breast conserving surgery + chemotherapy (n = 1); modified radical mastectomy + chemotherapy + radiotherapy (n = 1); and no available (n = 2). This study shows that no demographic and clinical data contributes to the development of recurrence disease. To give a strong message, this study should be supported by other high volume and prospective studies.
