, Koen Quaegebeur, MD 2, Franceska Dedeurwaerde, MD 3, Karl Logghe, MD 2Abstract |
Background |
Bloody nipple discharge (BND) is a rare and distressing finding in infants, although its etiology is usually benign. Diagnostic management of BND and breast lesions in children calls for an adapted approach.
Case |
We present the case of an 11-month-old girl with unilateral BND and a painless breast mass. Sonographic and histologic examination identified juvenile papillomatosis of the breast.
Summary and Conclusion |
Juvenile papillomatosis of the breast is a rare cause of breast lesions in young patients with specific sonographic and histologic characteristics. Because of the associated risk of malignancy, surgical excision is the preferred therapy.
