Types of Pathologies • Cyst • Lipoma • Fibroadenoma • Fibrocystic Breasts • Cancer • DCIS – Ductal Carcinoma in Situ • IDC – Infiltrating Ductal Cancer
Indications of Galactography • Nipple Discharge • White / Yellow/ Green / Brown / Red • Can be considered benign or malignant • Approx 2-5% bloody discharges = cancer • Other causes can be a blocked duct due to a papilloma (shows as a filling defect on film) • Spontaneous discharge more worrisome than if discharge must be expressed manually
