Bloody nipple discharge in an infant is a distressing finding both for parents and the pediatrician who consults the baby. In adults the bleeding can be associated with breast carcinoma, especially when it is unilateral. In infants breast carcinoma are extremely rare. Usually, the bleeding is a benign process, but that does not mean that the children with this symptom should not be diagnosed and controlled. This paper reports a 3,5-month-old boy with bilateral bloody nipple discharge. Additionally, it presents previously described cases of bleeding from the nipples in children and proposed diagnostic approach.
婴儿乳头血性溢液对家长和诊治婴儿的儿科医生来说都是一个令人苦恼的发现。在成年人中,乳头出血可能与乳腺癌有关,尤其是单侧出血时。在婴儿中,乳腺癌极为罕见。通常,出血是一个良性过程,但这并不意味着有此症状的儿童不应接受诊断和监测。本文报告了一名3个半月大双侧乳头血性溢液的男婴。此外,还介绍了先前描述的儿童乳头出血病例及建议的诊断方法。
