Fluid Leaking from the Site of a Procedure to Investigate a Galactocele

August 26, 2009 by staff 1 Comment

Question: I have a patient who underwent a needle biopsy of a galactocele.  A week later, she continues to leak fluid from the entry site on the upper lateral aspect of her breast. I don’t know much about galactoceles.  How does she get the entry site to heal so that it will stop leaking?

Information about topical Bactroban (mupiricin) use for nipple trauma
