Cytological examination of nipple discharge (ND) is a noninvasive method of diagnosing the underlying breast pathology. We report a 46 year old female, who presented with pain and blood-mixed ND from the right breast with an impalpable mass. Cytological examination of the discharge was done and diagnosis of papillary neoplasm with degeneration, metaplasia, and atypia was given, which was further confirmed on histology and positive IHC for HMWCK and p63. Final diagnosis was intraductal papilloma of the lactiferous duct with squamous metaplasia and infarction. Differentiating benign papilloma from a carcinoma is challenging to the cytopathologist and requires clinicopathological correlation and a good knowledge of cytology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4137\/bcbcr.s14914","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,6]],"date-time":"2014-04-06T17:19:13Z","timestamp":1396804753000},"page":"BCBCR.S14914","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Diagnosis of a Nonpalpable Intraductal Papilloma without Radiological Abnormality by Nipple Discharge Smear Examination: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4137","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Anshul","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, MLN Medical College, Allahabad, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jitendra Singh","family":"Nigam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Saraswathi Institute of Medical Sciences, Anwarpur, Hapur, U.P., India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vatsala","family":"Misra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, MLN Medical College, Allahabad, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pramela Antony","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, MLN Medical College, Allahabad, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-BCBCR.S14914","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"278","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ogx.0000210242.44171.f6","volume":"61","author":"Hussain A.N.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol Surv."},{"key":"bibr2-BCBCR.S14914","first-page":"61","volume-title":"Management of Breast Disease.","author":"Ditez J.R.","year":"2010"},{"key":"bibr3-BCBCR.S14914","first-page":"179","volume-title":"Orell & Sterrett's Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.","author":"Cangiarella J.","year":"2012","edition":"5"},{"key":"bibr4-BCBCR.S14914","first-page":"271","volume-title":"Diagnostic Cytopathology.","author":"Gray W.","year":"2003","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr5-BCBCR.S14914","unstructured":"RosaiJ.
