<p> <strong> Absract </strong></p><p> Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare, inflammatory, and benign breast disease </p><p> characterized by non-caseating granulomata and microabscesses limited to </p><p> breast lobules. This condition presents as a firm breast mass that is clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from breast cancer, or as multiple or recurrent abscesses, or mastitis in a young non-lactating woman. Almost always, the diagnosis is </p><p> made after surgical interventions to rule out other pathologies as differential diagnoses </p><p> especially tuberculosis which is endemic in our country. We are going to report 3 cases of granulomatous mastitis besides a brief review of the literature. We emphatically recommend that although this entity should be kept in mind as a rare differential diagnosis, it shoud not be considered as the first one. </p><p> </p><p> </p>
