1Department of Surgery, Chaoyang Hospital, Capital University of Medical Sciences, Beijing 100020, China.
Objectives:
To study the pathological characteristics of breast-duct disease under breast duct endoscope in diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases.
Methods:
The images of breast duct of 62 patients with nipple discharge were obtained by hard breast duct endoscope (Olympus Inc) and computer assistant analysis system.
Results:
Of the 62 patients, malignant tumor was found in 4, premalignancy in 6, intradutal papilloma in 15, and mammary duct or plasma cell mastitis in 37.
Conclusions:
Intraductal lesions of patients with nipple discharge can be observed and be followed up with breast duct endoscope. The accuracy of etiological diagnosis of patients with nipple discharge, after the use of breast duct endoscope can partly modify the indications for operation in patients with nipple discharge.
