title: [The role of galactography in the diagnosis of breast diseases. Our experience].
abstract: Following a description of the most common galactographic semeiotics in relation to the different types of secretion, the Authors report their personal experience in the use of galactography to diagnose breast cancer. Histopathological tests revealed the presence of carcinoma in 14 (29.2%) out of a total 48 galactographic examinations. In conclusion, the Authors underline the high degree of diagnostic precision of galactography, a test which contributes to the identification of a considerable number of carcinomas during the preclinical stage.
