Comparing three treatment approaches for granulomatous lobular mastitis

This trial is testing three different ways to treat granulomatous lobular mastitis, a long-lasting inflammatory condition of the breast that can be painful and affect how the breast looks. Researchers want to compare surgery alone, triple anti-tuberculosis drug therapy alone, and a combination of both surgery and medication to see which approach works best for patients and causes the least distress.

Granulomatous lobular mastitis is difficult to treat and often comes back even after surgery, and it can cause real physical and emotional pain for patients. This study exists because no one has ever directly compared these three treatment methods in the same group of patients, so doctors don't yet know which approach is most effective or which patients prefer.
