Periductal mastitis (PM) is a form of nonlactational mastitis. The clinical picture varies from mild periareolar inflammation to frank retroareolar abscess formation. A huge amount of literature is incriminating cigarette smoking as a major contributing factor to the etiology of PM, and cessation of smoking is essential for a successful treatment. However, a search in PubMed and Scopus did not reveal any reports regarding the occurrence of PM among hubble-bubble smokers. Herein, we report two cases of PM in relation to hubble-bubble smoking (HBS) and review the related literature. In addition to antibiotic and surgical treatment, cessation of HBS was essential for sustained remission of PM.

Background: Periductal mastitis (PDM) is a complex benign breast disease with a prolonged course and a high probability of recurrence after treatment. There is a variety of available treatments for PDM, but none of these options have been widely accepted. A standard strategy has been especially difficult to establish in patients with PDM accompanied by large tumors or large skin ruptures, as these seriously affect the appearance of the breasts after surgeries, which can lead to feelings of lower self-esteem among patients.

Patients And Methods: Between 2011 and 2020, 121 patients diagnosed with PDM and 57 patients with GLM were retrospective analysis.
