Throwing light on nipple discharge.
Five percent of the patients presenting to a symptomatic breast clinic have nipple discharge. Conventional surgical management for the nipple discharge includes microdochectomy or total duct excision. Breast duct micro-endoscopy (BDME) is a new technique, which helps evaluate the underlying cause of nipple discharge. We describe a case of nipple discharge with a unique etiology: mammary duct foreign body.
