Intraductal Papillomas - These wart-like growths occur in the breast ducts, and are often the reason behind clear or bloody nipple discharge. Ductograms are usually needed to find them, and they are removed when spotted. Link to cancer risk: Having a single papilloma isn’t linked to an increased risk, but multiple ones are.
