Surgeons performing breast augmentation should be aware of the clinical presentation as well as the treatment options for this entity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case presentation: Galactocele in children is described as a rare cause of increasing in breast size and can appear in males. [abstracts.eurospe.org]

• Breast Mass

  We suspect that in lactating patients preexisting breast masses may interfere with the milk flow, thus rendering the breast tissue around the mass prone to galactocele formation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In prepubertal girls, conservative management by surveillance or needle aspiration is warranted to prevent damage to developing breast tissue.", keywords = "Breast cyst, Breast imaging, Breast mass, Galactocele, Pediatric", author = "Alaniz, {Veronica [experts.umich.edu]

  Conclusion: The report discussed the differential diagnosis in paediatric patient with benign breast mass and how they arrived to their conclusion. [abstracts.eurospe.org]

• Multilocular Cyst

  […] if centrally located or thinly septated, multilocular cyst in peripheral location (StatPearls: Galactocele [Accessed 21 September 2022], Radiographics 2013;33:2003) Mammogram: Indeterminate mass or a circumscribed mass with high radiolucency due to high [pathologyoutlines.com]

  Peripheral location - A thin-septated multilocular cyst is a typical feature. Chronicity: Acute - As the internal contents of the galactocele are a fluid suspension, it appears more homogeneous with medium-level echoes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Foam Cell

  Cytologically, aspirates are generally noted to contain occasional foam cells and benign epithelium displaying lactational change with an abundant background of lipid micelles and proteinaceous material. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Her galactocele resolved adequately with this treatment. Surgeons performing breast augmentation should be aware of the clinical presentation as well as the treatment options for this entity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of the galactocele Treatment of galactocele should be comprehensive and timely, so as not to disrupt the process of normal lactation. Treatment can be medicamentous, operative, and also alternative means. [iliveok.com]

A controlled trial in Thailand looked at 2 treatments for galactocele. The first treatment involved needle aspiration of galactoceles. If the galactocele recurred, excision took place. [breastfeedingmaterials.com]

Traditionally, treatment of these benign cysts in male children has been surgical excision. [experts.umich.edu]

Treatment Treatment is usually done by excision. In this method, an incision is made and the tumor is excised. Symptoms and Signs The symptoms of the disorder include a milky discharge from the nipple and a subareolar mass. [medigest.uk]

Treatment and prognosis They are benign lesions and spontaneous resolution occurs in a vast majority of cases. A small percentage have a residual collection that may mimic a fibroadenoma or complex cyst. [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis of recovery in this case is high. The prognosis in terms of malignancy is a fairly high probability of metaplasia only with prolonged course and in the absence of adequate treatment. [iliveok.com]

Pregnant women with more advanced disease have a poorer prognosis when compared with non-pregnancy associated breast cancer [ 13 ]. [jcgo.org]

Summary and Conclusion: The etiology of galactoceles in nonlactating women is poorly understood. Traditionally, treatment of these benign cysts in male children has been surgical excision. [experts.umich.edu]

Epidemiology Benign diseases of the breast are seen during the 2nd to 5th decade of life, with a peak in the 4th to 5th decades. This is in contrast to malignant breast conditions, where the incidence increases with the patient's age. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Outline the pathophysiology of the formation of galactocele. Identify the physical exam and imaging findings seen when evaluating a patient with galactocele. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinicians should not overlook this entity as a possible diagnosis and more research is needed to find out its underlying pathophysiology. [hindawi.com]

Sometimes doctors immediately resort to surgical treatment to prevent complications. Prevention Prevention of galactocele, first of all, provides the correctness of the process of feeding. [iliveok.com]

Preventing Reoccurrence There is no definitive way to prevent a galactocele from returning once you have had one, aside from having the affected duct surgically removed. [katherinerosman.com]
