Eosinophilic mastitis mimicking a developing asymmetry

Eosinophilic mastitis is a very rare form of mastitis with few reported cases in the literature. This is a case of eosinophilic mastitis in a 48-year-old woman which presented as a screen detected right breast developing asymmetry. No sonographic abnormalities were visualized on diagnostic workup, a...

description Eosinophilic mastitis is a very rare form of mastitis with few reported cases in the literature. This is a case of eosinophilic mastitis in a 48-year-old woman which presented as a screen detected right breast developing asymmetry. No sonographic abnormalities were visualized on diagnostic workup, and subsequent tomosynthesis-guided biopsy was performed. Knowledge of this rare entity is helpful in the radiologic-pathologic correlation, diagnosis, and clinical management of future cases.
