RETROAREOLAR LACTEAL CYSTS: ISSUES OF DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT
Abstract
Medical specialists of the Regional Clinical Center of the Maternity and Childhood Protection (Vladivostok) since 2000 to 2004 detected 57 retroareolar cysts that were found, predominantly, at patients under twenty. The diagnostics was based on examination data, ultrasound study, cyst puncture results, cytologic analysis of cyst contents, and pneumocystography. Choice of therapeutic approach depended on whether there was inflammation or not. When detecting retroareolar cysts, the authors proposed active therapeutic management in order to prevent non-lactational mastitis.
