摘要

Abstract

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare and chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast. Difficulties exist in the management of GLM for many front-line surgeons and medical specialists who care for patients with inflammatory disorders of the breast. This consensus is summarized to establish evidence-based recommendations for the management of GLM. Literature was reviewed using PubMed from January 1

1971 to July 31

2020. Sixty-six international experienced multidisciplinary experts from 11 countries or regions were invited to review the evidence. Levels of evidence were determined using the American College of Physicians grading system

and recommendations were discussed until consensus. Experts discussed and concluded 30 recommendations on historical definitions

etiology and predisposing factors

diagnosis criteria

treatment

clinical stages

relapse and recurrence of GLM. GLM was recommended as a widely accepted definition. In addition

this consensus introduced a new clinical stages and management algorithm for GLM to provide individual treatment strategies. In conclusion

diagnosis of GLM depends on a combination of history

clinical manifestations

imaging examinations

laboratory examinations and pathology. The approach to treatment of GLM should be applied according to the different clinical stage of GLM. This evidence-based consensus would be valuable to assist front-line surgeons and medical specialists in the optimal management of GLM.
