We report a case of insulin-dependent diabetic fibrous mastopathy with special reference to the findings of computed tomography (CT). The patient was a 27-year-old woman with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus from childhood who presented with a right breast tumor. Physical examination showed a stony-hard, ill-defined but freely movable mass under the nipple of the right breast without nipple discharge. Mammography revealed a high-density mass shadow without microcalcifications or spicular formation. Ultrasonographic examination revealed an irregularly-shaped hypoechoic lesion with marked posterior acoustical shadowing. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed poor early phase contrast enhancement and slight delayed phase heterogeneous enhancement. Since core needle biopsy revealed fibrocystic disease, the lesion was suspicious for diabetic mastopathy. Incisional biopsy of the right breast lump was performed. On histopathological examination, the lesion showed fibrosis with dense lymphocytic infiltration around the lobules. Diabetic fibrous mastopathy was diagnosed. Physicians should be aware of the association of long-standing diabetes mellitus with the development of fibrous mastopathy. CT is considered a useful tool to differentiate diabetic mastopathy from breast cancer.

Bloody nipple discharge in an infant is a distressing finding both for parents and the pediatrician who consults the baby. In adults the bleeding can be associated with breast carcinoma, especially when it is unilateral. In infants breast carcinoma are extremely rare. Usually, the bleeding is a benign process, but that does not mean that the children with this symptom should not be diagnosed and controlled. This paper reports a 3,5-month-old boy with bilateral bloody nipple discharge. Additionally, it presents previously described cases of bleeding from the nipples in children and proposed diagnostic approach.

Primary breast actinomycosis is a rare condition that has been previously reported in the female breast. Male breast infection is uncommon and most often associated with trauma to the skin or predisposing conditions like diabetes. We report the first case to our knowledge of primary breast actinomycosis in the male breast caused by Actinomycesneuii (A. neuii), a rare strain of Actinomyces. Mammography demonstrated periareolar skin thickening with a mottled pattern. Sonography showed multiple small cystic structures. Definitive diagnosis was made by culture of the nipple discharge.
