Intraductal Papilloma

Intraductal papilloma is a benign growth that forms within the ducts of the mammary gland, through which milk flows.

Possible signs: It may be associated with nipple discharge or the presence of a small lump near the areola, although at times it produces no obvious symptoms.

When should you see a doctor? Any nipple discharge or change in the breast is a reasonable reason for an evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? Intraductal papilloma can initially be evaluated by the general practitioner and, depending on the case, by the gynecologist or the gynecologic oncologist. If you notice any change in your breasts, discussing it with a professional allows it to be clarified with peace of mind.
