Quick Summary:

  • Intraductal papilloma of breast is a benign tumor of breast that can be present anywhere from near the nipple region to the lobular unit (which is the terminating unit of each milk duct). They are primarily of 2 broad types:
    • Central Papilloma of Breast
    • Peripheral Papilloma of Breast
  • Peripheral Papilloma of Breast is a benign tumor of breast affecting the peripheral breast duct or lobular units, which is mostly observed in young and middle-aged women
  • Peripheral Papilloma of Breast can occur in women of all ages, though it is more commonly seen in young and middle-aged women. The cause of the condition is unknown, but the risk factors may include gender (women are affected more than men), the use of birth control pills, obesity, and one’s reproductive history
  • The signs and symptoms of Peripheral Papilloma of Breast may not be significant and often the diagnosis of the tumor is established due to the presence of other associated conditions, or through a screening mammogram
  • Peripheral Papilloma of Breast is treated through a surgical excision, per the healthcare provider’s recommendation. The prognosis is excellent with its complete removal, since it is a benign tumor. However, periodic checkups and screening mammograms are advised
