Misdiagnosis and Nipple symptoms
Rare type of breast cancer without a lump: There is a less common form
of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer.
Its symptoms can be an inflammation of the breast tissue, such as with a breast rash
with redness and warmth, but not necessarily a physical breast lump.
This type of breast cancer should be considered as an uncommon possibility
for certain types of breast symptoms....read more »

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Nipple symptoms.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- When did you first notice the nipple symptoms? - to establish if acute or chronic.
- What nipple symptoms do you have? - e.g. nipple discharge (see nipple discharge), bleeding nipple (see bleeding nipple), nipple tenderness, nipple redness, scaly nipple, inverted nipple, extra nipple, absence of nipple.
- Are the nipple symptoms related to the menstrual period? - suggests benign mammary dysplasia (nipple discharge before the menstrual period) or due to oral contraceptive pill (nipple discharge more evident just before the menstrual period).
- Are you breast feeding? - an obvious reason for bilateral milky nipple discharge.
- Is there a recent history of breast stimulation? - e.g. sexual stimulation, mammograms, poorly fitting bra and tight clothes - may cause a small nipple discharge.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Nipple symptoms) may include:
- Nipple discharge, if yes is it unilateral or bilateral and what type of discharge is it? - e.g. Bloody discharge may include intraduct papilloma (most common), intraduct carcinoma or mammary dysplasia. Green-grey discharge may include mammary dysplasia or mammary duct ectasia. Yellow discharge may include mammary dysplasia or breast abscess (pus). Milky white discharge may be due to lactation, lactation cysts, elevated prolactin hormone or drugs. If unilateral and watery or bloody discharge consider breast cancer, intraduct papilloma, Paget's disease, papillary cystadenoma or epithelioma of the nipple. If bilateral and milky should consider the various conditions that cause hyperprolactinemia (elevated prolactin hormone in the blood) or pregnancy. A bilateral bloody discharge suggests mammary dysplasia (chronic cystic mastitis).
- Nipple retraction? - may suggest breast cancer, benign fibrocystic disease or past mastitis.
- Extra nipple(s)? - An extra nipple occurs in about 1% of the female population and is an inheritable condition. Extra nipples are also relatively common in males, often being mistaken for moles. The extra nipple usually develops just below the normal breast. Less commonly, extra nipples may appear under the arms or on the abdomen.
- Inverted nipples? - Sometimes the nipples fail to elevate above the skin surface. Inverted nipples may make breast feeding an infant difficult, but a special exercise can be used to prepare the nipple for feeding an infant.
- Absence of the nipples? - This rare congenital abnormality may occur on both sides or on one side.
