The etiology of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM), a rare inflammatory breast disease, is not understood. There is no consensus regarding the treatment of IGM. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of surgery combined with traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of IGM.We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients of IGM who were treated with surgical excision at our hospital. Group A (nâ=â25) included patients treated with only surgery, and Group B included patients treated with surgery combined with postoperative Yanghe decoction. The clinical data were compared between the 2 groups, including demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes.All patients were female with a mean age of 34.6â±â5.9 years. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding preoperative demographics or clinical characteristics. The follow-up time was comparable between the groups (13.2â±â10.0 vs 12.0â±â10.2 months). Patients in Group B had shorter complete remission (CR) times than patients in Group A (76.1â±â15.2 vs 84.0â±â12.2 days; Pâ<â.05). The CR rate was higher in Group B than in Group A (96.4% vs 76.0%; Pâ<â.05), and the recurrence rate was lower in Group B than in Group A (0% vs 16.0%; Pâ<â.05).The postoperative Yanghe decoction regimen was associated with more rapid recovery after IGM surgery. Surgical management combined with postoperative oral Yanghe decoction treatment yielded a higher CR rate and lower recurrence rate than surgery alone. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine in IGM treatment requires further study.
