Intraductal breast diseases are characterized by a high risk of transformation in breast cancer. Difficulties of diagnosing intraductal lesions are associated with the only symptom — the appearance of pathologic discharge from the breast nipple. In adolescent girls, taking into account the immaturity of the nipple and it flatness, there are difficulties with removing it correctly. On physical examination, as well as with the high density of the surrounding tissue and areola, the control over the presence of pathologic discharge from the mammary ducts is difficult. The intraductal pathology requires ultrasound examination, mammography, and only after a full examination — ductographic research. The article presents its own clinical observations of the intraductal pathology in adolescent girls aged 14 and 15 years. The algorithms of examination and patient surveillance with intraductal pathology are described.
