Clinical significance of recent inversion of the nipple: a reappraisal

E M Neville et al. J R Soc Med. 1982 Feb.

Abstract

In a retrospective survey of 63 cases of inverted nipple, unaccompanied by a palpable mass, 3 histologically confirmed carcinomas were found on combined clinical and mammographic examination - an incidence of 5%. No carcinoma was found in those patients under 50 years of age. The problem of the false negative mammogram is discussed.
