“…Bloody or Hemoccult-positive discharge is more likely to be associated with cancer (5% to 28%) and should prompt further evaluation (1,8). However, clear or watery discharge has been associated with breast cancer in up to 7% of cases (1,9,10). Although cytology has been used to further evaluate the discharge, it has been associated with a false-negative rate …”

“…Secreting breast is a complex pathologic finding which can account for up to 7% of all breast symptoms and can be due to both benign and malignant diseases [1]. To be significant a discharge should be true, spontaneous, persistent, and, of course, nonlactational.…”

“…The former is usually caused by a localized lesion (benign or malignant), while the latter is expression of a generalized involutionary change in the breast or an endocrine abnormality. Although, conventionally, the management of single-duct discharge is surgical, surgery could also have a role in the treatment of multiple-duct discharge [1][2][3][4].…”

Objective: The present study is a comparison of results in patients with pathological nipple discharge (PND) who underwent microductectomy and those who underwent major duct excision (MDE). Methods:This study included patients who underwent surgery in the clinic due to PND between October 2015 and October 2011. Data were collected via retrospective chart review. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the type of surgery (Group Micro and Group Major). The demographic characteristics of the patients, the character of the discharge, preoperative imaging findings, preoperative cytological findings, postoperative pathological findings, and follow-up results were analyzed. Results:The records of a total of 78 patients were examined. Group Micro comprised 57 patients, and 21 were included in Group Major. The most frequently observed lesion in both groups was papillomatous lesion without atypia (Group Major: n=8, 38.1% and Group Micro: n=26, 45.6%). Premalignant lesion was detected in 17 patients (atypical ductal hyperplasia, papillomatous lesion with atypia, ductal carcinoma in situ, intraductal papillary carcinoma). Although the number of patients with a premalignant lesion in Group Major was greater than that seen in Group Minor, the difference was not significant (n=11, 19.3% and n=6, 28.6%, respectively; p=0.3). Conclusion:Conventional imaging and cytology techniques are usually insufficient in the diagnosis of PND. Therefore, surgery is frequently required in these patients. Microductectomy or MDE may be selected as the preferred surgical procedure. In this study, the results of the 2 procedures were found to be similar.
