After 2 antibiotic therapy regimens and abscess drainage without improvement, Trucut breast biopsy was performed, whose histological result was Granulomatous Mastitis. Medicated with high-dose, long-lasting corticosteroid therapy, there was improvement of the clinical condition. Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis is a rare entity that mimics breast cancer, whose etiology, incidence and treatment are yet to be defined.
