Periductal mastitis (PM) is a form of nonlactational mastitis. The clinical picture varies from mild periareolar inflammation to frank retroareolar abscess formation. A huge amount of literature is incriminating cigarette smoking as a major contributing factor to the etiology of PM, and cessation of smoking is essential for a successful treatment. However, a search in PubMed and Scopus did not reveal any reports regarding the occurrence of PM among hubble-bubble smokers. Herein, we report two cases of PM in relation to hubble-bubble smoking (HBS) and review the related literature. In addition to antibiotic and surgical treatment, cessation of HBS was essential for sustained remission of PM.
导管周围乳腺炎(PM)是一种非哺乳期乳腺炎。其临床表现从轻度乳晕周围炎症到明显的乳晕后脓肿形成不等。大量文献认为吸烟是PM病因的一个主要促成因素,戒烟对于成功治疗至关重要。然而,在PubMed和Scopus数据库中检索未发现关于水烟吸食者中发生PM的任何报告。在此,我们报告两例与水烟吸食(HBS)相关的PM病例并复习相关文献。除了抗生素和手术治疗外,停止水烟吸食对于PM的持续缓解至关重要。
