RESUMO
Introducción. La asociación de telorragia y ginecomastia nos orienta al diagnóstico de papiloma intraductal. Este tumor benigno es muy infrecuente en la edad pediátrica. Caso clínico. Niño de 2 años que presentó ginecomastia y telorragia en la mama izquierda. Se realizó mastectomia. A los 4 años, presentó el mismo cuadro en la mama derecha, que requirió también mastectomia derecha, con buena evolución posquirúrgica en ambas oportunidades. La anatomía patológica informó papiloma intraductal sin signos de malignidad ni atipia. Conclusión. El papiloma intraductal raramente afecta a niños; hay 15 casos reportados. La ecografía es el método de diagnóstico más empleado. En los pacientes masculinos, la mastectomia es recomendada para asegurar un diagnóstico y tratamiento definitivo.

Clinical case. A 2 year old male child was referred due to gynecomastia and bloody nipple discharge of the left breast. A mastectomy was performed. At the age of 4 he returned with identical symptoms but in the right breast. A right mastectomy was also required. An excellent clinical outcome was present in the follow up. The pathology reported intraductal papilloma with no evidence of malignancy or atypia. Conclusion. The intraductal papilloma rarely affects children, there are 15 reported cases. Ultrasound is the most useful diagnostic method. In male patients, mastectomy is recommended to ensure definitive diagnosis and treatment.
