  • Title: Bloody nipple discharge.
    Author: Lorenzen JR, Gravdal JA.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1986 Jul; 34(1):151-4. PubMed ID: 3728258.
    Abstract:
    Bloody nipple discharge is a complaint that worries both the patient and the physician. Unlike other types of nipple discharge, it signals intrinsic breast disease. A benign etiology is the rule rather than the exception, but this symptom warrants careful evaluation. If there is no palpable mass or mammographic abnormality, bloody discharge from a single duct in a nonpregnant young woman is usually due to a benign intraductal papilloma.
