Abstract:
Sarcoidosis, also known as Besnier-Boeck-Schaumann disease, is a chronic multisystemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology whose main localizations are mediastinal and pulmonary. The sarcoid granuloma can be present in almost all organs, thus causing extremely polymorphous clinical pictures of variable severity, sometimes threatening the functional and/or vital prognosis. Its localization in the breast is extremely rare. We report a case of sarcoidosis of the breast in a 26-year-old woman who presented with a breast mass with inflammatory signs opposite. Mammography showed a spiculated mass without any microcalcification. Ultrasound showed a hypoechoic mass. She underwent biopsy and the pathologic findings were consistent with sarcoidosis. The evolution was good under medical treatment.
