Abstract

The development of the breast begins during the 32 nd week of gestation and it can be palpated in many newborns. Its mean diameter, at birth, is eight milim.eter. The development of the breast lasts after birth and it can reach 14-20 mm. in diameter at the 2-3 weeks. However, it shrinks in several months and breast is quiescent until puberty. At the babies wich bom at the proper time, generally the breast are seen larger. These neonatal breasts can secrete a cloudy milk-like fluid. The cause of these development and secretion is matemal and fetal hormones like that estrogens, progesterons, cortisons, growth hormone and prolactin. However, neonatal gynecomastia and bloody nipple discharge are seen very rare. At this issue an eighteen months old baby with bloody nipple discharge is reported.
