  • Title: Prevotella bivia: A Rare Cause of Zuska's Breast Disease.
    Author: Aboud A, Smith A, Gumbs S, Ramcharan A.
    Journal: Cureus; 2022 Sep; 14(9):e28904. PubMed ID: 36225524.
    Abstract:
    Zuska's breast disease is a rare disorder leading to recurring subareolar abscess typically in obese patients with a history of smoking. The pathophysiology is a combination of ductal obstruction from squamous metaplasia and infection usually by anaerobic and gram-positive bacteria. Zuska's breast disease does not have a single standardized treatment partly attributed to the lack of physician awareness of the disorder. The initial management should include smoking cessation, anaerobic and gram-positive antibiotic coverage, and drainage of abscesses if present.
