Granulomatous Mastitis (GM) is an uncommon form of mastitis frequently associated with autoimmune diseases. This entity requires a differential diagnosis with breast tumor and infections and may be treated with glucocorticoids and methotrexate. We report a case of GM in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus already using high doses of prednisone and immunosuppressants that responded to the use of doxycycline. Some pathophysiological, histological and treatment aspects are discussed.
