Abstract
Objective: The aim of the idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) consensus study was to evaluate the etiology, diagnostic steps, and differential diagnosis and propose a widely accepted clinical classification of this mysterious breast disease.
Method: The organization of a national IGM consensus was decided by the joint evaluation of the Turkish Federation of Breast Diseases Societies, SENATURK, and the Society of Breast Surgery. First, a working group of 11 members was formed, and a survey and workshop were organized to reach a common consensus. The modified Delphi method was used in the consensus methodology. Voting rates of 80% and above were considered as acceptance.
Results: The consensus was 45/50 (92%) that core needle biopsies are necessary for the diagnosis of IGM and 39/40 (97%) that a new clinical classification is needed. The proposed Turkish clinical classification of IGM was accepted by 94% in three rounds of voting.
Conclusion: This disease should be considered etiologically idiopathic. Tissue diagnosis and pathological evaluation are recommended for treatment. The proposed IGM Turkey classification was strongly accepted.
期刊介绍:
''Breast Care'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers all aspects of breast biology. Due to its interdisciplinary perspective, it encompasses articles on basic research, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant diseases of the breast. In addition to presenting current developments in clinical research, the scope of clinical practice is broadened by including articles on relevant legal, financial and economic issues.
