title: Duct ectasia in the male.
abstract: Three cases of inflammatory duct ectasia occurring in the male breast are described. The clinical presentation of the disease in the male closely resembles that in the female. Nipple retraction, nipple discharge, periareolar inflammation and bilateral involvement are all seen. Conservation measures produced unsatisfactory results similar to those in women. A similar operative approach to that used in women is advocated.
