Abstract

Early discovery of breast cancer in the lactating female will result in improved survival rates. One such marker is the "milk rejection sign," which has rarely been described and consists of the rejection by the nursing infant of the lactating breast that harbors an occult breast carcinoma. Recognition of this particular sign is vital and will enable early diagnosis and improved prognosis.
