  • Title: Painful diabetic mastopathy as a reason for mastectomy.
    Author: Perret WL, Malara FA, Hill PA, Cawson JN.
    Journal: Breast J; 2006; 12(6):559-62. PubMed ID: 17238986.
    Abstract:
    A 34 year old woman with longstanding insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus experienced disabling bilateral breast pain and tenderness associated with the benign breast lesions of diabetic mastopathy. Diabetic mastopathy is typically associated with nontender lesions, however we present a case where disabling pain and tenderness lead to bilateral mastectomy, as requested by the patient. This relieved the patient of her symptoms.
