Abstract

Milk leakage from the breast, which is known as galactorrhea, can be caused by a number of pharmacological, physical, and tumoral factors. Galactorrhea is a well-known side effect of domperidone, and is usually associated with hyperprolactinemia. However, euprolactinemic galactorrhea secondary to domperidone is very rarely seen and has yet to be reported in children before. Here, we report an adolescent with euprolactinemic galactorrhea caused by domperidone.
