A 25 year old Female complains of discharge of blood from a single duct in her breast. The most appropriate treatment is:

A
Radical excision
B
Microdochectomy
C
Radical mastectomy
D
Biopsy to rule out carcinoma
High-Yield Explanation
Bloody discharge from a single duct in a young pre-menopausal woman (25 years) is most likely to be due to a ductal papilloma. However a histo-pathological diagnosis is required to confirm the condition and Microdochectomy is an operation to remove the affected duct.
