A Rare Case of Periductal Mastitis in a Male
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Periductal mastitis is extremely rare in males and most of these cases usually end up as mammary duct ectasia. This is a case of a 60 year old male patient who presented with a tender breast and a tiny subareolar swelling in the right breast. There was also nipple discharge. Cytosmears from the nipple discharge were taken and features of periductal mastitis were noticed. This case is being presented because of its extreme rarity in males and the importance of diagnosing it in cytological smears thus avoiding surgery. Keywords: Periductal mastitis, Subareolar swelling, Nipple discharge..
