| '''Zuska's Disease,''' also known as lactiferous [[fistula]], is a rare recurrent condition characterized by draining abscesses around the nipple. It is often misdiagnosed and mistreated, occasionally resulting in unnecessary [[mastectomy]]. Symptoms include swelling or subareolar mass, a draining fistula from behind the areola, thick discharge from the nipple, or painful discharge.

| According to Passaro, et al, the definitive therapy involved excision of the fistula and all of the retroareolar fibroglandular tissue, along with ductal tissue within the nipple. <ref>Passar, M. et al (1993).
