Abstract:
Objective To investigate subsequent treatment methods of nipple discharge after fiberoptic ductoscopic examination.Methods Intraductal lesions of 51 patients with nipple discharge were observed and assessed by fiberoptic ductoscopy.After examination,the patients were treated by various methods according to characteristic appearance of lesions under fiberoptic ductoscopy.The type of lesion with nipple discharge was classified as papillary lesions and nonpapillary lesions.And the papillary lesions could be further subdivided into nodular papillary lesions and irregular papillary lesions.There were 29 cases of nodular papillary lesion,23 of which were treated by local resection and 6 of which were given a simple mammectomy.There was 1 case of irregular papillary lesion,which was treated as malignant tumor after the focus was surgically removed and pathologically confirmed as breast cancer.Nonpapillary lesion was observed in 21 cases,18 of which were treated by local irrigation under ductoscopy,and 3 of which were treated as malignant tumor after the abnormal duct with its lobules was pathologically diagnosed as breast cancer.Results The 51 patients were followed with B-ultrasonography or chest roentgenography for 6～21 months(mean,14 months).No recurrence or metastasis was observed.Conclusions The characteristic appearance of lesion with nipple discharge under fiberoptic ductoscopy is an important evidence for choosing treatment method.
