Abstract

A Sub-areolar abscess is a rare clinical entity, usually affecting young, non-lactating women. Along with the clinical assessment, an ultrasound some time is helpful in its diagnosis and differentiation from malignancy, however, a mammogram is not sensitive for this purpose. We present 18-year old female with a normal immune system and history of sub-areolar breast abscess on each sideover two years of interval. Keywords : bilateral breast abscess; mammography; breast ultrasound; bilateral mastitis.
