Diseases of the mammary glands (mammology)

A nodule in the breast

A node in the mammary gland is a new growth that indicates some disease or pathology of the body. Let's consider the main causes and types of nodes in the glands, methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

Mastalgia

Mastalgia is a disease that is accompanied by constant pain in the mammary glands. Let's consider the main causes of this pathology, symptoms, methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

Invasive breast cancer

Invasive breast cancer is a disease characterized by the spread of the tumor to the lymph nodes and other organs and tissues. Let's consider the features of the pathology, the main symptoms, diagnostic methods, treatment and prognosis for recovery.

Lipogranuloma of the breast

Lipogranuloma of the mammary gland is a fatty necrosis, i.e. a benign formation. Let's consider the features of this pathology, symptoms, diagnostic methods, treatment and prevention methods, as well as the prognosis for recovery.

Ductal breast cancer

In the list of female oncological diseases, ductal breast cancer is no less common than other types of breast cancer. However, in recent years, the incidence of this type of cancer has increased significantly.

Swelling of the mammary glands

Swelling of the mammary glands, that is, an increase in the volume of their cells or stroma, has both a physiological nature and a pathological etiology.

Mammary lymphostasis

If swelling occurs during a malfunction of the lymph flow, doctors diagnose lymphostasis of the mammary gland, that is, a difficult outflow of lymph from the chest area.

Mammary hematoma

A hematoma of the mammary gland requires special attention, because hemorrhage into a limited tissue space can provoke a rather “bad” pathology.

Breast fibrosis

Fibrosis of the mammary gland is a pathology of its tissues, in which there is a proliferation and compaction of collagen and elastin proteins synthesized by fibroblasts and glycoprotein cells that form the matrix of connective tissues.

The accessory mammary gland

The accessory lobe and accessory mammary gland are formed from elements of glandular tissue that are located close to the mammary glands themselves: the pectoral muscle zone, the subclavian and axillary region.
