摘要：

Milk coming from the breast of newborn is called "witch's milk", and it results from transplacental transfer of maternal hormones. We present a case of a 5-day-old female neonate with secretion of "witch's milk", prominent breast nodules, and uptake of Tc-99m-perchnetate in bilateral breast nodules on Meckel scan. Familiarity with this uncommon though not unexpected finding is needed to avoid confusion while interpreting Meckel scintigraphy.
