Summary
A single-arm, proof-of-concept trial has shown the safety and efficacy of ductal lavage as a treatment for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis patients (Manuscript accepted in Journal of Surgical Research 2018). In this multicenter, randomized, open-labeled, non-inferior trial, the investigators are going to enroll eligible granulomatous mastitis patients and randomized them into ductal lavage versus. corticosteroids therapy group.
