- Abstract
Recently, it has been reported that IgG4‐related disease may occur in the breast manifesting as nodular sclerosing interstitial mastitis. Here we report a case with multiple tumor‐like nodules in one breast. The histologic diagnosis was established on core needle biopsies, and treatment was initiated without open biopsy. Diagnosis of IgG4‐related sclerosing mastitis should be suspected in cases of tumor‐like lesions on imaging with an interstitial plasma cell‐rich sclerosing inflammation on histology.
