title: [Surgical management of abscessing mastitis and of retromammary abscesses].
abstract: This paper analyses the frequency of abscess-forming mastitis and retromammary abscess in evaluating patients of 11712 births from 1972 to 1978. In 69 cases we found an abscess-forming mastitis and in 6 cases a retromammary abscess. In differential diagnosis there are discussed the clinical symptoms of both diseases. Whereas in the case of intramammary abscess a radial incision with contra-incision and drainage is made, the retromammary abscess indicates a curved incision according of the retromammary abscess are not so frequent but must be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the mamma during puerperium.
