Intraductal carcinoma in a male breast: diagnosis by nipple discharge cytology.

abstract：:Residual material from liquid-based pap (LBP) test has been used for molecular testing of Human Papilloma Virus (HR HPV) DNA. LBP test specimens (1,025) were evaluated to determine how often residual material was insufficient to perform microbiological testing. The specimens were tested for Chlamydia trachomatis and N...
