Sequential occurrence of different subtypes of nonpuerperal mastitis in contralateral breasts: a report of two cases.
Abstract
Nonpuerperal mastitis (NPM) is a nonspecific chronic inflammation in the breast. The two most common pathologic subtypes are idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) and plasma cell mastitis (PCM). The cause of NPM is unknown, and the recurrence rate is high; however, the sequential development of two different pathologic subtypes of NPM in contralateral breasts of the same patient is rare.
