Breast MRI in Patients with Unilateral Bloody and Serous-Bloody Nipple Discharge: A Comparison with Galactography

Figure 6

54-year-old patient, presenting with bloody nipple discharge from the left breast: craniocaudal galactographic image (a) shows ductal ectasia and filling defect, as observed in papillomatosis. (b) MRI images (T1-weighted 3D flash), acquired on the axial plane, show a branched inhomogeneous ductal enhancement, suspicious of ductal malignant pathology. Histology revealed DCIS. This case represents a galactography FN case; MRI correctly identified the malignant disease.
