Abstract
We present the case of a 44-year-old male patient who presented to a dermatology outpatient clinic due to an asymmetric swelling of the left nipple. The patient reported a burning sensation within the area, persisting for approximately six months. Due to the inconclusive dermoscopic findings and lack of improvement following empirical treatment, a biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed keratinizing squamous metaplasia of the lactiferous ducts (SMOLD).
