What is papilloma?

Papilloma is a relatively rare type of breast tumor. The detailed analysis is as follows:

Papillomas are usually caused by abnormal changes in certain cells within the breast ducts. This condition is also clinically known as intraductal papilloma or nipple papilloma. Papillomas can take various forms, but in most cases they are benign. They typically occur in women under 40 years of age and usually affect only one breast. This condition often does not cause obvious symptoms, but in some patients, main symptoms may include breast lumps, breast pain, and nipple discharge. Treatment options for papilloma include surgical removal, drug therapy, and radiation therapy. For most patients with papilloma, surgical excision is the most common treatment approach. Surgery can completely remove the tumor and help prevent its recurrence. For patients with milder symptoms, drug therapy and radiation therapy can also be effective treatment options.

In addition, if patients experience the above-mentioned symptoms, they should promptly visit the breast surgery department at a hospital. The specific treatment plan should be determined according to each patient's individual condition.
