Abstract
These data confirm that patients who present with single duct pathologic nipple discharge usually have benign pathology as the etiology. However, in a small percentage of patients an occult carcinoma might be present. Major duct excision appears to detect a higher percentage of occult carcinoma when compared with minimally invasive microductectomy, which might be related to the larger sample size of the resection specimen.
