Core Tip	Granulomatous mastitis is a rare inflammatory disease of the breast, that often presents as a breast mass. The exact etiology is unkown. We report a rare presentation of this conditions arising in the right breast of a 29-year-old female. The treatment if granulomatous mastitis is yet to be defined, but literature supports non operative management with steroids, with surgery reserved for failure of medical management. Failure of steroid therapy should raise the suspicion of an underlying misdiagnosed infectious etiology. If an infectious etiology is identified however, medical management with antibiotics remains the mainstay for treatment.
