title: [A woman with a red nipple with purulent discharge].
abstract: We describe a 49-year-old woman who presented to the surgeon with recurring complaints of her right nipple, such as redness, pain, swelling and purulent discharge from the areolar margin. The diagnosis 'Zuska's disease' should be distinguished from breast cancer, Paget's and Mondor's disease. Treatment is surgical with a microdochectomy.
