Sarcoidosis is chronic multisystem disease of unknown etiology characterized by noncaseating granulomatous lesions affecting multiple organs. Any organs or tissues can be affected but sarcoidosis more frequently involves the lungs, lymph nodes, spleen, liver, skin, eyes, muscles, bones, central nervous system, and salivary glands (in descending order of frequency). It is very rare for sarcoidosis to involve the breast parenchyma but it may be confused with benign or malignant tumors. We report a case of breast sarcoidosis in a young woman who presented with breast mass.
