Abstract:
Objective:Nipple discharge is a common complaint in women.There were no accurate techniques in detecting ductal lesions in nipple discharge patients before the application of fiberoptic ductoscopy.The aim of this study was to evaluate fiberoptic ductoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of nipple discharge.Methods: From June 2007 to November 2008,a total of 95 patients with nipple discharge were submitted to fiberoptic ductoscopy,and 50 of them underwent surgery and pathological examination.Results: Of the 95 cases,2 diagnosed as breast cancer,58 intraductal papilloma,23 mammary duct ectasia,and 10 inflammatory disease of the mammary duct.Compared with the results of pathological examination,the accuracy of the fiberoptic ductoscopy was 81% for intraductal papilloma and 100% for breast carcinoma.Conclusions:Fiberoptic ductoscopy,as a convenient,safe and accurate method for the diagnosis and treatment of nipple discharge,can be used to confirm etiological factors and locate the site of the complaint.
