A common presenting symptom for female patients is nipple discharge. Therefore having a background on how to manage is necessary for appropriately identifying and diagnosing the underlying etiology. The two most utilized imaging studies are diagnostic mammography and ultrasound. It can be difficult to identify a source/cause with mammography due to decreased sensitivity with also variable results seen with ultrasound. Advanced imaging such as MRI is becoming increasingly utilized limiting the need for ductography for diagnosis. In this case report, we discuss a rare case presentation of spontaneous nipple discharge.
乳头溢液是女性患者常见的症状表现。因此,了解如何处理乳头溢液对于准确识别和诊断潜在病因是必要的。两种最常用的影像学检查是诊断性乳腺钼靶摄影和超声检查。由于乳腺钼靶摄影的敏感性降低,且超声检查结果也存在差异,因此很难通过乳腺钼靶摄影确定病因。诸如磁共振成像(MRI)等先进的影像学检查越来越多地被使用,从而减少了诊断性乳腺导管造影的需求。在本病例报告中,我们讨论了一例乳头自发性溢液的罕见病例。
