Ducts and theirbranches were investigated to define and locate the extent of intraductallesions. Core biopsies were taken of suspicious lesions and the findingswere analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS In cases of bloody and serosanguineous nipple discharge,72.3% were papilloma and papillomatosis, 5.2% duct cancer and 22.5%mammary duct ectasia and galactophoritis. In patients with watery nippledischarge, 56.0% were papilloma and papillomatosis, 8.0% were breastcancer and 5 patients without abnormal findings were regarded asnormal.CONCLUSION Fiberoptic duct endoscopy can accurately locate the siteand pathology of nipple discharge allowing the improvement in diagnosisof early breast cancer.展开更多
