Abstract
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS) in pathological milky white nipple discharge. Methods The data of 1688 patients with pathological milky white nipple discharge who underwent FDS examination in Chengdu Third People’s Hospital from Oct. 2011 to Oct. 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 1688 cases, the proportion of patients with milky white nipple discharge was 30%, higher than that of the bloody discharge (15%) and yellow liquid (24.5%) . The detection rate of lesions in patients with milk nipple discharge was 9.3%, among whom 6.1% was breast cancer. Conclusions FDS should be routinely performed in patients with pathological milky white nipple discharge, as an examination tool to exclude the intra ductal lesion. The disease should be paid more attention by physicians. Key words: Breast cancer; Fiberoptic ductoscopy; Pathological white nipple discharge; Breast intraductal lesions
