Mammary flat-abscess

乳疽 〔乳疽〕 rǔ jū

A yīn-pattern suppurative lesion of the breast. A mammary flat-abscess is characterized by a hard, slightly painful lump in the breast, without any change in skin color. The lump gradually grows larger. Suppuration is slow to develop and is accompanied by aversion cold and heat effusion. Rupture gives rise to a discharge of yellow pus and leaves a deep hole in the breast.
