Abstrakt:	Aim: This study analyzes a number of diabetic mastopathy cases in long-standing type 1 diabetes to obtain a detailed history and examination findings from these patients and to reach a possible conclusion of arriving at the diagnosis. Subjects and methods: A 10-year retrospective study was done from January 2008 to December 2018 on patients who attended the diabetic outpatient department diagnosed for type 1 diabetes mellitus and presented with breast complaints. Complete history and examination of all these patients were noted. The collected data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics software version 16.0. Results: All of the patients had a similar presentation and had undergone excision biopsy of the lump. Histopathology examination reports have confirmed a diagnosis of diabetic mastopathy. The clinical and imaging findings are inconclusive and these lesions are often misdiagnosed as breast carcinomas. Conclusion: The recognition of this rare but benign disease is crucial to avoid surgical biopsies, which are performed more often than necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
