Intraductal papilloma
Treatment
The involved duct is surgically removed and the cells are checked for cancer (biopsy).
Support Groups
There may be support groups for women with breast disease in your area. Ask your doctor or other health care provider for a recommendation.
Prognosis (Expectations)
The outcome is excellent for people with one tumor. People with many tumors, or who get them at an early age may have an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly if they have a family history of cancer or there are abnormal cells in the biopsy.
Complications
Complications of surgery can include bleeding, infection, and anesthesia risks. If the biopsy shows cancer, you may need further surgery.
Calling Your Health Care Provider
Call your health care provider if you notice any breast discharge or a breast lump.
