Authors describe two uncommon cases of infantile mammary duct ectasia (EDM). This disease, first reported in 1983, is characterized by dilatation of the subareolar duct system, and by phlogistic reaction and fibrosis. In the medical literature only 8 cases have been reported, but probably its frequency is undervalued due to the scarce general knowledge of this pathology. The differential diagnosis is reviewed.
作者描述了两例罕见的婴儿乳腺导管扩张症(EDM)病例。这种疾病于1983年首次报道,其特征是乳晕下导管系统扩张,伴有炎症反应和纤维化。医学文献中仅报道过8例,但可能由于对该病理状况普遍了解不足,其发病率被低估了。文中对鉴别诊断进行了综述。
