A patient I saw after delivery said she had been bleeding from both breasts
during most of her pregnancy.  The MD advised not to bf.  I expressed her
breasts postpartum, and it looked as if pure blood was coming out.  The LC
I was working with suggested to the MD that it was probably an intraductal
papilloma, and showed him Ruth Lawrence's discussion of same suggesting it
would be benign.  The mother pumped for a couple days, the bleeding
stopped, milk came in, and she breastfed.  (All this from memory, but I
think it's about right.)
