Abstract
This article discusses granulomatous mastitis (GM), a condition primarily affecting premenopausal women. It explores the use of systemic immunosuppression as a treatment for refractory GM and finds that drugs like methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, and mycophenolate can induce remission and improve symptoms. However, the evidence for these treatments is limited, and more research is needed. The study emphasizes the importance of considering individual patient circumstances when deciding on treatment options. [Extracted from the article]
