[Galactography in the diagnosis of breast cancer]

Caused by a pathological nipple discharge with a suspect cytological result we made 1818 galactographies. The X-ray results have been classified according to the following points of view: milk duct ectasies, milk duct cysts, ectasies and cysts, intracanalicular proliferations and the so called "normal" duct system. Milk duct carcinomas and carcinomata in situ are found frequently in cases of milk duct abruption and changes in the milk duct borderlines.
