Nipple discharge is usually nothing to worry about. Still, because it can be a sign of breast cancer, it's worth having a doctor check it out. It's especially important to see a doctor if: you have a lump in your breast.

We hereby present two cases of breast cancer with no palpable mass manifesting as isolated ND, which was whitish in color. In both cases, cytology of the discharge revealed highly pleomorphic cells indicating a high grade malignancy.
