A 52-year-old woman presents for diagnostic evaluation of spontaneous left bloody discharge. On full field digital mammography, no suspicious masses or calcifications are seen.

On digital Galactography, a filling defect is noted in the left subareolar region.

The area identified on galactography underwent a core needle biopsy.

Galactography may provide additional information when nipple discharge is present. A finding identified with Galactography is important for surgical and follow-up recommendations.
