title: [The galactophoritis--a cytological symptom of mastopathy (author's transl)].
abstract: In cytological examinations of 7,739 women with nipple discharge 90 cases of galactophoritis were found. Additional diagnostic methods, especially galactography in 24 patients could classify the galactophoritis as a symptom of mastopathy. Cytophotometrical and bacteriological examinations of the galactophoritical discharge supported this. Based on enlarged galactographical-histological comparative investigations milk duct cysts and dilatations in the galactograms were shown to be typical roentgenmorphological signs of mastopathy. It was therefore possible to classify the cytological picture of the galactophoritis.
