Intraductal papilloma is a small, benign tumor that forms inside the milk ducts of the breast. It is most common in women over 40 and can sometimes cause nipple discharge or a small lump near the nipple.
Symptoms of Intraductal Papilloma
The most common symptom is clear or bloody nipple discharge. Some patients may also feel a small lump close to or behind the nipple. While intraductal papillomas are generally not painful, they can cause discomfort in some cases.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Intraductal Papilloma
Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam, imaging tests, and possibly a biopsy to confirm the nature of the papilloma. Treatment may include surgical removal of the papilloma, especially if it is causing symptoms or if there is concern about cancer.
