Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The carcinoma frequency of clinically and radiologically negative pathologic nipple discharges (PNDs) and the optimum management strategy of these cases are still unclear. In this study, the frequency of cancer and the situation of the classic surgical intervention in patients with PND and invisible mammographic and ultrasonographic results are reviewed. The data pertaining to the cases of sub-areolar exploration and major duct excision in a surgery clinic of university hospital from December 2002 to June 2007 have been examined in detail. In 28 cases with PND, which did not have any findings during conventional radiologic examinations, 21% of cases had malignant, and 7% of cases had atypical ductal hyperplasia. The frequency of invasive or in situ carcinoma is not low in clinically and radiologically negative PNDs. Sub-areolar exploration and major duct excision seems to be an appropriate and definitive diagnostic and therapeutic option in this special patient group. |
