Intraductal papillomas of the breast are benign lesions with an incidence of approximately 2-3% in humans. [1] They result from abnormal proliferation of the epithelial cells lining the breast ducts. [2] Two types of intraductal papillomas are generally distinguished. The central type develops near the nipple.
Papillary carcinomas of the breast (PCB), also termed malignant papillary carcinomas of the breast, are rare forms of the breast cancers. [1] The World Health Organization (2019) classified papillary neoplasms (i.e. benign or cancerous tumors) of the breast into 5 types: intraductal papilloma, papillary ductal carcinoma in situ (PDCIS), encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC), solid-papillary ...

In this context, papilla refers to the projection created by the tumor, not a tumor on an already existing papilla (such as the nipple).
phyllodes tumor and intraductal papilloma of the breast; mastalgia is frequently caused by an imbalance of breast secretion in the lobules and resorption in the ducts; nonpuerperal mastitis is frequently caused by a similar mechanism in combination with an infection; duct ectasia is similar and overlapping with the above-mentioned
