Description
Luciano Mariano and co-authors profile a rare diabetes-linked breast disease in a 2024 study. Diabetic mastopathy hardens breast tissue in long-standing diabetes, mostly type one. It looks and scans like cancer, so diagnosis is tricky. One Milan center tracked its cases for a decade.
Twenty-eight women form the series. Most had type one diabetes and were under forty at diagnosis. Eye and nerve damage were common companions. Scans often suggested cancer, forcing needle biopsies to settle the matter. Over half had surgery, and about a third of those saw the lump return. One breast cancer appeared. Careful follow-up, not alarm, is the recommended stance.
