Hi,

Duct ectasia of the breast is a condition in which the lactiferous duct becomes blocked or clogged. This is the most common cause of greenish discharge in the breast.If antibiotics and self-care don't work, the affected milk duct may be surgically removed.

Since the lesions are benign,it does not mean cancer.Do not worry.Kindly take up the fnac test to confirm diagnosis.It is not painful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
