abstract ={Lymphocytic mastopathy is a benign rare entity, commonly associated with long standing diabetes. It has
also rarely been reported on patients with autoimmune diseases, particularly Sjogren’s syndrome. There are
very few cases reported, with the literature suggesting an incidence of <1% of benign breast diseases.
Despite being considered a benign disease, lymphocytic mastopathy presents similarly to breast cancer on
imaging, posing a diagnostic challenge. This report describes a case of a postmenopausal woman with
significant autoimmune history that presented with a right-sided breast lump found to have lymphocytic
mastopathy on histology.}
