ABSTRACT: Granulomatous mastitis, also called granulomatous lobular mastitis, is a benign pathology of the mammary gland characterized by chronic inflammation of the gland tissue, which becomes erythematous, manifesting itself as a palpable and painful mass on physical examination, sometimes it can be accompanied by abscesses. The following case is a 45-year-old Guatemalan female, with a history of increased volume in the left breast, compromising the upper quadrants. A mammogram was performed, followed by breast ultrasound; the diagnosis was confirmed by histology. The treatment offered was surgery with image controls every six months.
