Case report: Diabetic mastopathy

Аннотация

Diabetic mastopathy (DMP) is a rare fibrotic disease of the mammary gland (less than 1 % among benign diseases). It was first described in 1984 by Soler & Khardori in women who have suffered from type 1 diabetes mellitus for a long time. Clinically, DMP can manifest as single or double-sided, palpable, movable, painless seals. Often, DMP is a random finding in a mammographic examination of asymptomatic patients. At the same time, radiological signs are more often non-specific. When ultrasound examination of the mammary gland with DMP can be visualized hypoechoic formations with fuzzy, uneven contours, heterogeneous structure. Clinical, ultrasound and radiological manifestations of DMP are often associated by specialists with malignancy, which leads to unnecessary invasive procedures. In this regard, of interest is the clinical case of DMP in a woman of reproductive age with type 1 diabetes, repeated trepanobiopsy of the breast. The described clinical observation represents the case of repeated invasive intervention, which proves the connection between the long-term decompensation of type 1 diabetes that occurred in the juvenile age and the progression of the pathological process in the mammary glands under hyperglycemia.
