Thirty post-menopausal women with breast abscess were treated at Port of Spain General Hospital, Trinidad, between 1976 and 1980. In this age group, breast abscess can be confused with cancer due to a lack of inflammatory features. History and physical examination are often not helpful in differentiating an abscess from carcinoma. Although the usual treatment of an abscess is incision and drainage, in post-menopausal women, excision of the lesion is helpful for accurate histological diagnosis.
1976年至1980年间,特立尼达西班牙港总医院对30名患有乳腺脓肿的绝经后妇女进行了治疗。在这个年龄组中,由于缺乏炎症特征,乳腺脓肿可能会与癌症混淆。病史和体格检查往往无助于区分脓肿和癌。虽然脓肿的常规治疗方法是切开引流,但对于绝经后妇女,切除病变有助于进行准确的组织学诊断。
