The diagnosis of IGM is made by breast biopsy showing non-caseating granuloma after other causes of granulomatous mastitis have been excluded (1, 4). IGM is a poorly understood disease; there is no consensus regarding underlying cause, risk factors, and optimal treatment of this condition (3). 000008219 540__ $$fCC BY 000008219 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008219 650__ $$aBreast Diseases$$015807 000008219 650__ $$aRheumatologists$$011926 000008219 650__ $$aMethotrexate$$022164 000008219 650__ $$aGranuloma$$019730 000008219 650__ $$aArthritis$$015092 000008219 6531_ $$aidiopathic granulomatous mastitis 000008219 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008219 692__ $$aArthritis and Rheumatology 000008219 7001_ $$aRingsted, Sarah$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008219 7001_ $$aFriedman, Marcia$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008219 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008219 8564_ $$9a531c6e9-9dc8-477d-9cfb-c49030f11976$$s50225$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8219/files/Sarah-Ringsted.pdf 000008219 905__ $$a/rest/prod/vt/15/0k/05/vt150k056 000008219 980__ $$aResearch Week
