Intraductal papilloma of the breast in association with preoncogenic gene of breast cancer.

We reported a case of an African American woman who went to the hospital with palpable right breast lump with bloody nipple discharge at University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. The modalities of breast imagings included mammography and ultrasonography. The method used for viral identification was Linear Array HPV genotyping test. Intraductal papilloma revealed as high density tubular or rounded lobular masses with partially circumscribed, obscured margins and clustered punctate microcalcifications on mammograms. Ultrasound showed as intraductal masses with dilated ducts. The core biopsy demonstrated duct filled with papillary lesion and post excision revealed intraductal papilloma. HPV DNA types 16, 33, 58 and 71 were detected after use of Linear Array HPV genotyping test.
