Abstract

Abstract: Lupus mastitis is an uncommon SLE breast manifestation. Clinically, it can present itself as a malignant‐like mass. Therefore, a tissue biopsy is warranted to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of this condition is pharmacological and directed to the underlying disease. The rarity of this entity demands a high degree of suspicion.
