Abstract
Although milky nipple discharge appears frequently in infants, bloody
nipple discharge is a very rare finding. We experienced a 4-month-old,
breast-fed infant who showed bilateral bloody nipple discharge with no
signs of infection, engorgement, or hypertrophy. The infant’s hormonal
examination and coagulation tests were normal, and an ultrasound
examination revealed mammary duct ectasia. The symptoms resolved
spontaneously within 6 weeks without any specific treatment, except
that we advised the mother to refrain from taking herbal medicine.
Since no such case has been previously reported in Korea, we present
this case with a brief review of the literature.
