Hacettepe Üniversitesi Hastanelerinde Granülomatöz Mastit Tanısı ile Tedavi Edilen Hastaların Retrospektif Değerlendirilmesi ve Skorlama Modeli Oluşturulması

Abstract

Granulomatous mastitis is an idiopathic, inflammatory and benign disease of the breast. Since the disease is rarely seen, its etiology remains somewhat obscure. In the literature searches, it was observed that evaluations could not be made with a vast number of patients. It is planned that the factors causing the disease will be explored through the evaluation of 81 patients with the relevant diagnosis in the archives of Hacettepe University. During the evaluation of patients, archived files were retrospectively scanned, and age, sex, number of pregnancies, duration of breastfeeding, co-morbid disease, sizes and recurrence of the mass that is radiologically detected were evaluated. Patients’ preparations were retrieved from the pathology archive, cases with and without recurrence were compared and the effectiveness of the treatment methods was evaluated. Lymphocyte counts, neutrophil counts, micro-abscess formation and histiocyte counts among the cases were evaluated, and the effects of the same on recurrence were compared. No statistically-significant difference was observed in the parameters checked between 12 patients with recurrence and 69 patients without recurrence.
