Abstract

Male breast abscess is an extremely rare benign lesion with few published literatures and reported cases. Due to its rarity, little has been reported about its clinical or imaging features. In this report, we present a 60-year old male patient with idiopathic breast subareolar abscess mimicking malignancy in the clinical, mammography, ultrasound, and shear-wave elastography findings. Although rare, abscess should be kept in the differential diagnosis of male breast subareolar lesions mimicking malignancy.
