Intraductal Papillomas of the Breast - Diagnostic ultrasound cases

Solitary papillomas (solitary intraductal papillomas) are single tumors that often grow in the large milk ducts near the nipple. They are a common cause of clear or bloody nipple discharge, especially when it comes from only one breast. They may be felt as a small lump behind or next to the nipple. Sometimes they can be painful. Papillomas may also be found in small ducts in areas of the breast farther from the nipple. In this case, there are often several growths (multiple papillomas). These are less likely to cause nipple discharge. Whether or not papillomas need to be treated depends on factors such as their size, if there is more than one, and if they’re causing symptoms. Because papillomas can sometimes be linked with other, more serious breast findings, doctors may recommend surgery to remove them and the part of the duct they're in.
