[Intraductal juvenile papillomatosis of the breast]

Papilloma of the female breast is rare before and during puberty. Hence, positive findings recorded from a girl, eleven years of age, encouraged the authors to make these comments on pathogenesis, operability, and prognosis of epithelial proliferations in juvenile patients. Reference is also made to the need for delimitation of this pathological complex from other papillary tumours of the mammary gland.
