Classification
Breast Abscess may be classified according to site and clinical presentation into subtypes.[1]
- Site: subcutaneous, subareolar, interlobular, central and retromammary.
- Clinical presentation: Lactational and Non-Lactational.
Pathophysiology
Following untreated Mastitis, Breast abscess could occur. Breast Abscess is mostly caused by staph aureus bacterial infection to an injured breast skin. The bacteria secrets killing substances that necrotize the tissue. The tissue secrets immune cells that help in killing the bacteria. However, these cells cause damage to the tissue forming abscess as well
