    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Breast Imaging

    Background:

    • Nipple discharge is a common clinical presentation.
    • Bloody nipple discharge requires thorough investigation to rule out malignancy.
    • Galactography offers a minimally invasive approach to visualize the ductal system.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the galactography procedure.
    • To present normal and abnormal radiographic findings.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of galactography in cases of nipple discharge.

    Main Methods:

    • Galactography involves injecting contrast medium into the nipple ducts.
    • Radiographic images are obtained to visualize the ductal anatomy.
    • Findings are correlated with pathological results when available.

    Main Results:

    • Abnormal findings include filling defects, duct cut-off, encasement, extravasation, and ectasia.
    • Radiographic diagnosis correlated with pathology in 75% of cases (12/16).
    • Two cases with bloody discharge showed no identifiable abnormality on imaging or pathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Galactography is a valuable tool for evaluating nipple discharge, especially when bloody.
    • The procedure can identify various ductal abnormalities.
    • While accurate, galactography may not explain all cases of unexplained bloody nipple discharge.
