[Pectoral major muscle-sling flap for treatment of recurrent subareolar abscess: a new surgical technique].
Recurrent subareolar abscess is an uncommon benign disease of the breast, which is caused by peri-ductal mastitis with various etiology. Radical surgical procedure is necessary for cure instead of inadequate courses of antibiotics or incisions. In some cases the use of the pectoral muscle sling flap can be an alternative technique for the treatment of recurrent subareolar abscess after repeated standard surgical treatment. A 36 year old woman, who successfully underwent this procedure, is presented here.
