ABSTRACT:

Objective: To determine and investigate the incidence of malignancy after microdochectomy in nipple secretion and to investigate the safety of performing a myodectomy in the discharge of single-duct from nipple. Study Design: A case series. Place and duration: In the Surgical Unit II of Services Hospital Lahore for two year duration from March 2016 to March 2018. Results: A total of 65 patients underwent microdochectomy. The nipple discharge appearance was stained with color in 30 patients, blood in 20 patients and serosa in 15 patients. All patients except one carcinoma were followed-up in the outpatient clinic for six weeks and more follow-up was discharged. None of the patients included in the study returned with spontaneous nipple discharge symptoms. In a patient with carcinoma, it was followed three years after a modified radical mastectomy without evidence of recurrent malignancy. Conclusion: All patients with permanent discharges should be treated by microdochectomy of mammographic findings regardless of whether colored or single-channel lactifero stained with blood. microdochectomy remains an effective and safe procedure for breast discharge. key Words: Duct ectasia, Microdochectomy, Nipple discharge, Carcinoma.
