“…Ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) is as an efficient tool for the diagnosis of breast lesions and has clear advantages over fine needle aspiration cytology and core biopsy in certain situations [ 6 ]. Recently, VAB has been used as in the management of breast abscesses [ 7 , 8 ]; therefore, the goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of VAB and needle aspiration in the treatment of lactational breast abscesses.…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to compare needle aspiration and vacuum-assistedbiopsy in the ultrasound-guided treatment of lactational breast abscesses.Methods:Between January 2005 and December 2014, a total of 74 patients presented withlactational breast abscesses. Thirty of these patients underwent treatment with antibioticsalone, while the remaining 44 lactating women with breast abscesses were treated withneedle aspiration (n=25) or vacuum-assisted biopsy (n=19). Age, duration of lactation, abscess diameter, pus culture results, the number of interventions, the healing time, and the cure rate were reviewed and compared between these two groups. The Student’s t test and the chi-square test were used to compare the variables.Results:No significant difference was found in the cure rate between the needle aspirationgroup (22/25, 88%) and the vacuum-assisted biopsy group (18/19, 94.7%) (P=0.441). However, the mean healing time was significantly shorter in the vacuum-assisted biopsy group (6.7 days) than in the needle aspiration group (9.0 days) (P=0.001).Conclusion:Vacuum-assisted biopsy is a viable option for the management of lactational breast abscesses and was found to lead to a shorter healing time than needle aspiration. However, further study is necessary to establish the clinical efficacy of vacuum-assisted biopsy in the management of lactational breast abscesses.

“…Ultrasound-guided drainage has become the first-line treatment in many centres, and recently vacuum-assisted core-biopsy devices (mammotome) have been advocated 9 10. Percutaneous therapies have been shown to be effective treatment for the abscess itself,9 but do not obtain tissue for histological examination.…”

SummaryBreast cancer in men is rare. Breast cancer presenting initially as an abscess has been described only a handful of times in the literature. We present the first described case of invasive adenocarcinoma presenting as an abscess in a man. An 80-year-old diabetic man presented with symptoms typical of a breast abscess. The abscess failed to respond to percutaneous therapy and excision of breast abscess was performed. Histology revealed an invasive carcinoma. He went on to have a mastectomy. Histology should be obtained from breast abscesses not resolving within 2 months of initial percutaneous therapy. Histology could be obtained by ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA), core or vacuum assisted biopsy, or by formal incision and drainage.
