Abstract

Background

Pathologic nipple discharge (PND) is diagnosed clinically and managed by diagnostic duct excision (DDE). Mammary ductoscopy in the office setting may change this standard. We performed a prospective study to assess the utility of office ductoscopy for surgical selection in women with nipple discharge.

Methods

Women with nipple discharge meeting at least 2 of 3 criteria of PND (spontaneous, single duct, bloody or serous) underwent office ductoscopy. Those showing papillomatous lesions underwent DDE in the operating room (surgical group, n = 38); if no lesion was present, women were followed clinically (observation group, n = 21).

Results

A papillomatous lesion was identified in 79% of women with 3-criteria PND and in 21% with 2 criteria (P = .001). DDE yielded a proliferative lesion in 35 of 38 women (92%). Of the 38, 27 (71%) had papillomata, 2 (5%) had florid hyperplasia, and 6 (16%) had ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on final pathology. Also, 11 women with papilloma and 1 with DCIS presented with 2-criteria PND. Ductoscopy findings were a better predictor of the presence of intraductal neoplasia (area under curve [AUC] 0.9, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.8–0.98) compared with 3-criteria PND (AUC 0.7, 95% CI 0.6–0.8). The 21 women in the observation group did not develop signs of malignancy or need biopsy during a 48-month follow-up period.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that office ductoscopy provides accurate surgical selection of women with nipple discharge and should be considered for women with 2 criteria of PND, and those with negative ductoscopy can be safely observed. These findings need confirmation in a larger study with longer follow-up.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
