Breast Lesions Causing Nipple Discharge: Preoperative Galactography-Aided Stereotactic Wire Localization

OBJECTIVE. Lesions that present with nipple discharge typically are not visible on mammography or sonography but can be detected on galactography. Therefore, the usual methods for preoperative localization (wire placement under sonography or stereotactic guidance) are not applicable. We report our preliminary experience of galactography-aided stereotactic wire (n = 8) or coil (n = 1) localization of small intraductal lesions.

CONCLUSION. Galactography-aided wire or coil localization is a practical localization method for intraductal lesions not detectable on mammography or sonography.
