Intraductal Papilloma Diagnosis & Tests
-
Intraductal papilloma is the most common cause of spontaneous nipple discharge from a single duct.
-
A small lump beneath the nipple may be felt by the examiner, but it is not always palpable.
-
A mammogram often does not show papillomas. Ultrasound may be helpful.
-
An x-ray with contrast injected into the affected duct (ductogram) may be performed.
-
Cellular (cytologic) examination of discharge may be performed to identify potentially malignant (cancerous) cells.
