[Case studies of galactography].

A brief account of radiological examination in diseases of the breast is followed by a discussion on galactography. Its technique is not difficult, but requires diligence, attention and experience. Its indications essentially concern cases in which there is secretion from the nipple. Contraindications are mainly known or strongly suspected malignant tumours. Disorders affecting the milk ducts are described with reference to their radiological picture as observed in 91 cases, 40 of which were followed operatively and histologically and 18 with cytological examination of the secretion. The examination is seen as an alternative of choice in cases of mammary lesion with secreting nipple, particularly in the exact localisation of damage.
