Abstract:

Recurrent idiopathic male breast abscess is a rare condition, a well definite treatment of this pathology. Most cases harbor an inverted nipple; data reports incision and drainage as the only method for management. The literature of the following report identifies two recurrent idiopathic male breast abscesses by excision of the nipple and areolar complex and opening of the communication between the nipple and the collection. The moist area found at the inverted nipple might be responsible as a portal of entry of bacteria toward the sub areolar space where the abscess is formed in most of the cases thus excision of nipple can be a definite solution of this problem.
