You really need to see a doctor. This might be (with dark green nipple discharge) mammary duct ectasia. Here is an excerpt from a page, plus a link provided so you can look for more information: "The discharge may be due to the fibrocystic disease. However, such greenish discharge is also characteristic for an inflammation of the breast ducts called mammary duct ectasia which is not usually related to an underlying cancer nor does it put you at greater risk than the normal for breast cancer. Ectasia is an inflammation of the breast ducts that is not caused by bacteria. While it is usually a benign process, it can sometimes look like a cancer on a mammogram and thus will most likely require a biopsy. Also, surgery may be indicated if there is a very persistent, copious discharge, breast pain, nipple retraction or an underlying mass thought to be an abscess or inflammatory mastitis. It is difficult to treat and excision of the inflamed ducts is only about 85% successful. Whether the mammogram is benign or not, you should see a surgeon experienced in breast disease for further management." http://www.wdxcyber.com /mbrdisch.htm#m01

I would definitely see a doctor. Any kind of colored or odorous discharge is usually associated with some sort of infection.
