Seven men with unilateral nipple discharge underwent galactography. In two patients the diagnosis was carcinoma, two were benign papillomas, one was a breast abscess, and two were ductal ectasia. Galactography is useful in men and women with nipple discharge, especially when the discharge is bloody and there is no palpable tumor. The precise location of an intraductal lesion through the use of galactography guides the biopsy and makes conservative surgery easier.

This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of the two cytology techniques, including liquid-based cytology of mammary ductal lavage fluid and nipple discharge smear cytology, in the intraductal lesions in patients with pathological nipple discharge (PND). This retrospective analysis included 119 patients with PND who underwent surgical treatment. At the same time, they all underwent fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS), nipple discharge smear cytology and liquid-based cytology of ductal lavage fluid before surgery.

With the popularity of breast screening, more and more intraductal papillary lesions (IDPL)were detected by ultrasound or mammography, which is a spectrum of diseases ranging from benign to malignant lesions. Patients with pathological nipple discharge (PND) may indicate IDPL, but it is difficult to clarify their biological characteristics before the operation. As to patients with IDPL without PND, it is even an enormous challenge to differentiate their benign or malignant characteristics.

Purpose: Pathological nipple discharge (PND) is associated with malignancy. This study aimed to investigate the value of fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS) and the feasibility of immediate injection of methylene blue after FDS to identify discharging ducts and intraductal lesions without overflow of methylene blue during surgery.
Methods: From May 2019 to December 2023, 164 PND patients were enrolled.
