Abstract
Diabetic mastopathy is a rare benign breast condition that mimics breast carcinoma in patients with diabetes. Clinicians must differentiate it from malignant causes because of differences in prognosis and management. This paper presents a case report of an 87-year-old lady with type 2 diabetes and diabetic mastopathy. We also review the literature on the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup and management of diabetic mastopathy.
