ductal papilloma
Had surgical "biopsy"/lumpectomy 6 mos ago, at follow up mammo had bloody nipple discharge, surgeon advised to wait 6wks, let breast "rest", still had bloody discharge on exam, I am scheduled for ductal excision of probable papilloma. My original pathology report was atypical hyperplasia w/ microcalcifications. What other questions should I ask about? Thanks.
It's rather unusual not to receive some form of treatment following excision of ADH. Most times Radiation followed by Tamoxifen is recommended. Regards ...
Thank you....no, I did not receive any treatment after 1st surgery. Glad to hear it is a simple procedure. Those Path report waits! yuk! Thanks again for your reply.
Not sure about what questions you might have ..... and ductal excision is a relatively simple procedure. Papillomas can be either benign or cancerous so any further treatment as you know will depend on the Path. report. Did you receive any treatment following your previous surgery? Regards ....
