Core Tip	We focus on the treatment efficacy of combining traditional Chinese (TCM) and Western medicine for granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM). GLM was treated conservatively with TCM in the early stages, but the disease symptoms did not significantly improve. Hence, surgery was required. Postoperatively, we drained the pus, removed decay, and dilated muscles through TCM-based fumigation and washing. The combination of TCM and Western medicine had a definite therapeutic effect on GLM and offered good prognosis. TCM offered valuable therapeutic benefits in this disease.
