Milk Fistula Developing From Accessory Breast After Laser Epilation, Case Report

Milk fistula is a rare condition characterized by the formation of a connection between the skin surface and the milk duct and spontaneous discharge of milk. It is most commonly seen after abscess drainage, biopsy or any interventional procedure. More rarely, spontaneous milk fistulas have also been reported. The occurrence of milk fistulas in the accessory breast is even rarer. In this study, we present a case of milk fistula that developed after laser hair removal in an accessory breast in a breastfeeding woman, which has not been reported in the literature before.

Abstract

Milk fistula is a rare condition characterized by the formation of a connection between the skin surface and the milk duct and spontaneous discharge of milk. It is most commonly seen after abscess drainage, biopsy or any interventional procedure. More rarely, spontaneous milk fistulas have also been reported. The occurrence of milk fistulas in the accessory breast is even rarer. In this study, we present a case of milk fistula that developed after laser hair removal in an accessory breast in a breastfeeding woman, which has not been reported in the literature before.
