| description | Milk discharge from neonatal breast commonly
occurs bilaterally. Majority of them are
benign in nature. Those cases usually require
conservative management and will resolve with
time. It typically occurs within one month of age
in which late-onset of galactorrhoea in toddlers
is indeed a rare occasion. Thus, an abnormal
cause needs to be ruled out. An 18-months-old
child had persistent milky discharge from the
left nipple for several days without underlying
specific identified causes. This case highlights
the occurrence of physiological milk discharge
can still possibly occur at the age beyond
one-year-old despite its absence in the initial
months of life. The principle observation at
primary care is still adequate in managing
such cases unless high suspicion of alarming
disease arises. This case proved a late onset of
physiological galactorrhoea can still occur in
the early toddler age group. |
