Mammary papilloma refers to intraductal papilloma. Signs of the lesion may be detected by ultrasound and other tests, and the diagnosis of the lesion will be confirmed by a combination of ductoscopy and pathology.
Intraductal papillomas are common benign lesions of the breast, occurring mostly in the middle-aged female population around 40 years of age. Clinical symptoms include a lump under the nipple, bloody or brown nipple discharge, and may be accompanied by breast pain.
A lump under the nipple may be detected by imaging tests such as breast ultrasound, but it may not be possible to diagnose the final lesion, and it may be confused with chronic mastitis, fibroids, and other lesions.
After signs of lesions are detected on ultrasound, further refinement of the examination should be performed, mainly with mammography and pathology. During lactoductoscopy, a localized elevated lesion can be found in the milk ducts, which is usually brittle in texture. At the same time, part of the lesion tissue is clamped, and the final lesion is diagnosed through pathological examination. Then the patient’s clinical symptoms are combined with the appropriate treatment.
