intraductal papilloma - (pronounced) (IN-truh-DUK-tul PA-pih-LOH-muh) A benign (not cancerous), warty growth in a milk duct of the breast. It is usually located near the nipple and can cause nipple discharge. It can also cause pain and a lump in the chest that can be felt. It usually affects women between the ages of 35-55. Having a single papilloma does not increase the risk of breast cancer. When multiple intraductal papillomas are present, they are usually found farther from the nipple. There may be no discharge from the nipple, and the papillomas may not be felt. Multiple intraductal papillomas can increase the risk of breast cancer. Also called intraductal papilloma of the breast
