Bloody Nipple Discharge in Infants: Case Series

Bloody nipple discharge very rarely occurs in infants and often is associated with benign mammary duct ectasia.
Just because it is a rare symptom and frequently associated with adults’ mammary cancer, it is inadequately managed: inappropriate diagnostic tools are used, consequently inappropriate treatments are given.
We here describe four cases of bloody nipple discharge, which resolved spontaneously within a few weeks of diagnosis and we present a review of the literature.
In conclusion, a “wait and see” approach is enough and avoids unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
