I had no idea till googling that Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) can also affect the breasts. Definitely check it with your rheumatologist, and thanks for bringing to our attention.

that is interesting. Learned something new. Although this would appear to be more like a mass in the breast. That would seem to bring a little more alarm than simply increased size. It did say that 2 or the 21 in the study had no masses but the breast was very tender. Interesting.
