Abstract
A Sub-areolar abscess is a rare clinical entity, usually affecting young, non-lactating women. Along with the clinical assessment, an ultrasound some time is helpful in its diagnosis and differentiation from malignancy, however, a mammogram is not sensitive for this purpose. We present 18 year old female newly married who presented with right sub-areolar abscess which developed after a love bite by her husband during intense sexual encounter.
