Abstract

Milk fistula is a rare condition characterized by the formation of a connection between the skin surface and the milk duct and spontaneous discharge of milk. It is most commonly seen after abscess drainage, biopsy or any interventional procedure. More rarely, spontaneous milk fistulas have also been reported. The occurrence of milk fistulas in the accessory breast is even rarer. In this study, we present a case of milk fistula that developed after laser hair removal in an accessory breast in a breastfeeding woman, which has not been reported in the literature before.

Özet

Süt fistülü emziren kadınlarda deri yüzeyi ile süt kanalı arasında bir bağlantı oluşması ve buradan kendiliğinden süt boşalmasıyla karakterize nadir görülen bir durumdur. En sık abse drenajı, biyopsi yada girişimsel herhangi bir işlemden sonra görülür. Daha nadiren kendiliğinden gelişen süt fistülleride bildirilmiştir. Süt fistüllerinin aksesuar memede görülmesi ise daha nadir rastlanan bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada daha önce literatürde yayınına rastlanmayan emziren bir kadında aksesuvar memede lazer epilasyon sonrası gelişen bir süt fistülü olgusunu sunduk.
