What Does Abnormal Discharge From The Nipples Indicate?
My mom who is in her mid seventies has been having problems with her right breast. Actually just her nipple.She started with a discharge and later a bit of a bloody discharge. Her nipple looks abnormal. She had a mammogram an MRI and later a biopsy. The mammogram came back perfect,the MRI showed atypical. The biopsy came back showing no signs of Cancer and negative for Padgett s disease. They know something is growing and have recommended surgery. What could this be ?

abnormal discharge is problematic ..now they will take some abnormal tissue from breast on surgical procedure and check that for macroscopic examination and markers ..sometimes mammography and mri are inconclusive ...this surgery is unavoidable ...best of luck
