Granulomatous inflammation
Hi to all!
Last December I opted to have a core biopsy after finding a small size lump 12 o'clock position just above my nipple. The radiologist was able to take 6 samples. After the dreaded wait it was found to be benign and was diagnosed as granulomatous- inflammation. Has anyone ever heard of this? Also, I am currently 2 and half months post biopsy and I did a self examination yesterday and found the lump in the same place. Is this something that isn't going to go away and am I always going to need to remember that I have it for future exams?

I am glad to know that your biopsy resulted in benign findings. Although Granulomatous-Mastitis is a benign condition, nonetheless it is sometimes difficult to treat.
