ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the etiology and novel treatment of plasma cell mastitis (PCM).Methods 145 cases of PCM undergoing massage dredge,ductal lavage and local amalgesic injection from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 145 cases of PCM underwent conservative treatment for 2 to 8 weeks,among whom 128 cases were cured and the other 17 cases underwent surgical treatment for poor outcome.Among the 128 cases undergoing conservative treatment,9 cases had relapse during the follow-up of 12 to 36 months.Conclusions The combined treatment of massage dredge,ductal lavage and partial closed treatment is effective for patients with PCM,and it can keep patients from having mastectomy and reduce the recurrent rate.
