Key words: Bloody nipple discharge, Infants, Mammary duct ectasia, Mammary cancer
Bloody nipple discharge very rarely occurs in infants and often is associated with benign mammary duct ectasia. Just because it is a rare symptom and frequently associated with adults’ mammary cancer, it is inadequately managed: inappropriate diagnostic tools are used, consequently inappropriate treatments are given. A “wait and see” approach is enough and avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
