Abstract

Bloody nipple discharge, or telorrhagia, is a rare manifestation in the pediatric population that in most cases is secondary to mammary duct ectasia. It is a benign and self-limiting disease, so a watchful waiting approach is recommended, avoiding invasive tests and reassuring the family while awaiting spontaneous resolution.
