Abstract
A 68-year-old female had been diagnosed with sarcoidosis of the lungs, eyes, and skin 22 years earlier Prior to the current admission, abnormalities were diagnosed on screening mammography. On mammography, a focal asymmetric density (FAD) was noted ; ultrasonography showed an irregular mass. Needle biopsy was performed ; breast cancer was suspected. Sarcoidosis of the breast was diagnosed. Since the mass was small, an excision biopsy was performed using a vacuum-assisted breast biopsy system (Mammotome : MMT). She has had no recurrence for 6 months since the resection. We report a rare case of breast sarcoidosis and review the literature.
