RATIONALE and PURPOSE: For non-lactational mastitis patients pathologically diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) or periductal mastitis (PD), the investigators hypothesized that ductal lavage is able to relieve the symptoms and achieve complete response, with shorter recovery time than oral intake of antibiotics or corticosteroids treatments. This single arm, observational, case series, pilot study is going to evaluate the effectiveness of ductal lavage in patients with non-lactational IGM or PD.
