Synopsis

Chronic mastitis is a broid breast condition that forms a palpable mass in the breast tissue. It often appears as an ill-defined lump, most commonly in women over 40, and can sometimes be painful. This book from the early 20th century emphasizes that chronic mastitis is not cancerous but may sometimes lead to cancer. It explains that the condition likely occurs due to hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause and is a deviation from the normal physiological processes of the breast. Surgery is recommended in some cases, particularly as women approach menopause, to prevent the development of breast cancer.
