title: Ultrasonically guided percutaneous drainage of breast abscess.
abstract: Percutaneous drainage of abscess under ultrasound guidance is a well established modality. Its use in breast abscess has still not found wide application. The present study on 25 consecutive cases of breast abscess with success rate of 84% is an attempt to recommend routine use of this modality wherever the facilities exist.
