Abstract:
Nipple discharge is a common breast complaint that justifies an etiologic check-up in order to identify and characterize the underlying intraductal lesion. The low sensitivity and specificity of the existing imaging exams led to the search of new, more efficient ways to explore nipple discharge. MR-Galactography is one of these emerging techniques. Recent literature tends to prove that MR-Galactography could be an interesting technique for localizing and characterizing lesions causing nipple discharge.

The Mammary Glands
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...
