Abstract
Bloody nipple discharge very rarely occurs in infants and often is associated with benign
mammary duct ectasia. Just because it is a rare symptom and frequently associated
with adults’ mammary cancer, it is inadequately managed: inappropriate diagnostic
tools are used, consequently inappropriate treatments are given. A “wait and see” approach
is enough and avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
