Adenoma of the mammary gland is a form of mastopathy along with other pathological formations in the breast (fibroma, fibroadenoma, lipoma, etc.). This type of tumor affects only the parenchyma (glandular tissue) of the organ and is benign.
The cyst can transform into a malignant tumor, this applies to atypical types of breast cysts. Infection is also common, that is, the appearance of inflammation of the breast cyst.
Inflammation of the mammary gland or mastitis is mainly a disease of women, which is characterized by severe pain, hardening of the skin of the breast, as well as their redness, and an increase in overall body temperature.
Recurrence of breast cancer often occurs months or even years after treatment. In recurrences, the tumor appears in the same place where the first tumor was or in a distant place.
Diseases of the mammary glands can occur at any time. If a red spot appears on the mammary gland, it may not just be a cosmetic defect, but the first sign of serious disorders in the body.
Lobular breast cancer (lobular carcinoma) develops in the lobule of glandular tissue, i.e. in the part of the breast where breast milk is produced – in the lobules.
Endocrinologists divide breast enlargement into physiological and pathological. In the first case, we are talking about a natural process, in the second - about a disease associated with hormonal imbalance.
