“…The clinical scenario of recurring subareolar abscesses and sinus formation has been referred to as Zuska’s Disease or periductal mastitis [ 51 ]. Patients with subareolar abscesses are typically premenopausal, though older women and men may also be affected [ 49 , 52 ]. Cigarette smoking is a strong risk factor for the development of subareolar abscesses, with approximately 70%–90% of patients reporting a history of smoking [ 50 , 53 , 54 ].…”

Inflammatory and reactive lesions of the breast are relatively uncommon among benign breast lesions and can be the source of an abnormality on imaging. Such lesions can simulate a malignant process, based on both clinical and radiographic findings, and core biopsy is often performed to rule out malignancy. Furthermore, some inflammatory processes can mimic carcinoma or other malignancy microscopically, and vice versa. Diagnostic difficulty may arise due to the small and fragmented sample of a core biopsy. This review will focus on the pertinent clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features of the more commonly encountered inflammatory lesions of the breast that can be characterized in a core biopsy sample. These include fat necrosis, mammary duct ectasia, granulomatous lobular mastitis, diabetic mastopathy, and abscess. The microscopic differential diagnoses for these lesions when seen in a core biopsy sample will be discussed.

“…In addition, some radiological investigations, including breast US and mammogram, may provide further details. 2 , 11 Earlier reports have scrutinised the importance of FNAC in the assessment of male breast lesions generally 17 and in confirming the diagnosis of SBA particularly. 2 , 8 , 9 In our patient, the diagnosis was confirmed based on clinical features, US findings, and FNAC results.…”

Subareolar breast abscesses (SBAs) in men are extremely rare. To date, only 15 men with SBA have been reported in the English literature. We present a case of SBA in a 28-year-old man who visited our surgical clinic with a painful swelling in his right breast for 10 days. Physical examination showed a tender, hot mass in the right subareolar area with erythema. Ultrasound of the right breast showed radiological features of a breast abscess. Fine-needle aspiration yielded brownish yellow pus. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of right SBA was established. This is the first documented case of SBA in men from the KSA. Additionally, this case report sheds light on the current clinical and therapeutic approaches to managing cases of SBA in men.

“…Sonographic imaging findings present as "heterogenous, irregular, hypoechoic mass" or "fluid collection with internal echoes, and irregular walls." The increased vascularity in surrounding tissues, thickening of skin due to inflammation, and fistulous tract formation may also be present [6,34,35] (Fig. 10d, e).…”

Imaging findings and classification of the common and uncommon male breast diseases

Male breast hosts various pathological conditions just like "female breast." However, histo-anatomical diversities with female breast lead to many differences regarding the frequency and presentation of diseases, the radiologic appearance of lesions, the diagnostic algorithm, and malignity features. Radiological modalities may play an important role in evaluating male breast lesions. Although some imaging findings are non-specific, having knowledge of certain imaging characteristics and radiologic patterns is the key to reduce the number of differential diagnoses or to reach an accurate diagnosis. Male breast imaging is mostly based on physical examination and is required for the complaints of palpable mass, breast enlargement, tenderness, nipple discharge, and nipple-skin changes. The majority of the male breast lumps are benign and the most common reason is gynecomastia. Although it is difficult to exclude malignancy in some cases, gynecomastia often has distinguishable imaging features. Pseudogynecomastia is another differential diagnosis that may be confused with gynecomastia. The distinction is important for the treatment plan. Apart from gynecomastia, other male breast lesions form a highly heterogeneous group and can be classified based on "Tissue origin," "Histopathological type and behavior," and "Radiologic features" for both simplification and comprehensive understanding. This article mainly focuses on emphasizing the results of basic histo-anatomical differences of male and female breasts, classifying male breast lesions, covering the spectrum of male breast diseases, and assisting radiologists in recognizing the imaging findings, in interpreting them through a holistic approach, in making a differential diagnosis, and in being a part of proper patient management.
