title: [Bloody nipple discharge in an 3,5-month-old boy].
abstract: Bloody nipple discharge in an infant is a distressing finding both for parents and the pediatrician who consults the baby. In adults the bleeding can be associated with breast carcinoma, especially when it is unilateral. In infants breast carcinoma are extremely rare. Usually, the bleeding is a benign process, but that does not mean that the children with this symptom should not be diagnosed and controlled. This paper reports a 3,5-month-old boy with bilateral bloody nipple discharge. Additionally, it presents previously described cases of bleeding from the nipples in children and proposed diagnostic approach.
