Abstract

Inflammatory mastitis of unknown etiology includes the entities periductal mastitis and idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. These relatively uncommon processes usually affect women of childbearing age. They usually present as a palpable mass that is painful on palpation. These lesions have an insidious clinical course and are difficult to diagnose. In some cases, they can resemble malignant disease, especially in some very developed cases where they can resemble inflammatory carcinoma. When considered all together in the appropriate clinical context, the magnetic resonance imaging signs enable us to approach a specific diagnosis. These entities share clinical and radiological characteristics with malignant processes, so biopsies are fundamental to rule out malignancy.

Resumen

Las mastitis inflamatorias de etiología desconocida incluyen a la mastitis periductal y la mastitis granulomatosa idopática. Son procesos relativamente infrecuentes que suelen afectar a mujeres en edad fértil. Suelen presentarse como una masa palpable dolorosa a la palpación, de curso clínico tórpido y difícil diagnóstico. En algunos casos pueden semejarse a patología maligna y especialmente algunos casos muy floridos al carcinoma inflamatorio. La RM en estas mastitis proporciona signos que nos permiten en su conjunto y en un contexto clínico adecuado, aproximarnos a un diagnóstico específico. Estas entidades comparten características clínico y radiológicas con procesos malignos, siendo fundamental descartarlo mediante biopsia.
