Spontaneous nipple discharge as a presenting symptom was seen in 80 patients out of 3500 patients referred for cytologic examination of breast during last 5 years. Gross appearance of nipple discharge was bloody (33), serous (29), milky (16) and yellowish (2). Cytology smears showed 5 cases of carcinoma and 14 cases of intraductal papilloma. One out of two cases of male nipple discharge revealed malignant cells. Bloody nipple discharge was more often associated with carcinoma and intraductal papilloma. Hence it underscored the importance of cytologic evaluation of bloody nipple discharge.
在过去5年转诊来进行乳腺细胞学检查的3500例患者中，有80例以乳头溢液为首发症状。乳头溢液的大体表现为血性（33例）、浆液性（29例）、乳状（16例）和淡黄色（2例）。细胞学涂片显示5例为癌，14例为导管内乳头状瘤。男性乳头溢液的2例中有1例发现恶性细胞。血性乳头溢液更常与癌和导管内乳头状瘤相关。因此，这凸显了对血性乳头溢液进行细胞学评估的重要性。
