BREAST INTRADUCTAL PAPILLOMA

Introduction Intraductal papilloma of the breast is characterized by a proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells overlying fibrovascular stalks creating an arborescent structure within the lumen of duct. Case report We present a 36 years female patient with history of bleeding from the nipple of right breast since last 3months. Examination of right nipple revealed bleeding and mammography show a right ductal papilloma. We performed microdochectomy of the involved duct with excision of ductal papilloma of the right breast. Histopathology of the excised specimen revealed ductal papillomawith adenosis and ductal hyperplasia. Conclusion If papilloma is located to a single duct,microdochectomy gives satisfactory results in younger patients with a minimal interference withthe breast.
