[Galactography of the female breast (author's transl)].
Breast lesions were diagnosed in 1518 patients among 8432 who had had mammography [ 19%].  In 324 there was the characteristic appearance of "secretory disease" .  Additional uni- or bilateral galactography was performed in 458 womenbecause of breast secretion.  A normal milkduct system was found in 29.6% of them; ductalectasia with a lumen above 3 mm diameter was present in 14.6%.  The most common cause ofsecretions was small cysts as part of a small-cystic mammary fibrosis or fibrocysticdisease of the breast [ 32.6%].  Intraductal proliferation was present in 21% of allgalactograms, occult carcinoma in 3 [ 0.7%].  It would seem that a secreting breast isnot as common an early symptom of mammary carcinoma as sometimes stated.  The most commoncomplication of galactography was mastitis [ more or less severe], almost always re-sponding to oxyphenbutazone administration.
