%X Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of topical clobetasol propionate 0.05% pomade in the treatment of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. Patients and Methods: Twenty-one idiopathic granulomatous mastitis patients¡¯ clinical and histopathological findings were retrospectively reviewed. Those patients excluded from other etiologies were categorized as idiopathic granulomatous mastitis and treated with topical clobetasol propionate 0.05% pomade as an initial treatment. Results: All 21 patients with a final diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis were women with the average age of 36.2+/-5.2 years. Of the 21 patients; erythema, induration and pain problems of 6 (28.5%) patients totally resolved without recurrence in 3 months follow-up period. Erythema, induration and pain problems of 7 (33.5%) patients were minimalized and stay stable in 3 months follow-up period. The symptoms of 8 (38%) did not change under topical clobetasol propionate treatment. None of the patients developed side or adverse effects due to topical steroid treatment and 6 of 18 patients with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) complained of gastric pain. Conclusion:Topical steroid treatment is a safe treatment option for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis patients before systemic steroid and immunosuppressive treatments and also surgery
