Mammillary fistula as a manifestation of acne inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa): report of two cases.

چکیده
Mammillary fistula (MF), or Zuska’s disease, is a recognized and well-documented clinical entity. Among the many articles on MF, none makes a comment on, much less a survey of, extramammary physical findings, although authors from Zuska onward have noted the similarity of MF to anal fistula in presentation and treatment. In the cases presented here, we noted hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesions on physical examination in two consecutive patients with bilateral MF at a veterans’ surgical clinic. These cases raise the question of whether such lesions might be found if looked for in other patients with MF, and whether MF might be associated with HS.
