Abstract
Breast involvement with lupus panniculitis has been infrequently reported. We describe 2 cases with breast involvement proven by biopsy to be lupus panniculitis. Our review emphasizes the clinical presentation of lupus panniculitis with mastitis and its possible clinical similarity to malignancy. In addition, other connective tissue diseases and vasculitis with breast involvement are noted.
