Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To assess the value of fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS) in the diagnosis of nipple discharge.
METHODS:Clinical records of 1,025 patients with nipple discharge undergoing FDS from February 2006 to March 2008 were reviewed.
RESULTS:There were obviously differences in the FDS diagnosis of various nipple discharge traits. The diagnosis by FDS was pathologically confirmed in 93.7%of patients with nipple discharge (404/431).
