ABSTRACT
Background: Diabetic mastopathy is an uncommon
complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) of long-term
evolution which can be confused with breast cancer.
Therefore, it is important to know this entity.
Clinical case: The aim of the present study is to show
the characteristics of mastography and breast
ultrasound (US) in a 64-year-old Mexican woman with
DM of 27 years of evolution treated with insulin. This
patient presented increased volume in both breasts
secondary to diabetic mastopathy. We describe the
utility of the US-guided core-needle biopsy as well.
Conclusion: Diabetic mastopathy is a rare
morphological change, which requires clinical
correlation and sets out the differential diagnosis in
physical examination and imaging studies of breast
cancer. Breast US is the most useful diagnostic tool to
evaluate a palpable nodule in a patient with suspected
diabetic mastopathy and the biopsy is the gold
standard test which allows the diagnosis.
