    Summary

    Chronic cystic mastopathy, a common breast condition, affects women predominantly between 40-49 years old. While generally benign, it carries a small risk of cancer transformation, necessitating careful monitoring and management.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Breast Disease

    Background:

    • Chronic cystic mastopathy (CCM) is a prevalent condition with diverse clinical presentations.
    • Understanding its pathological and clinical aspects is crucial for patient management and risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the pathology and clinical features of chronic cystic mastopathy.
    • To evaluate the incidence of cancer transformation and associated findings in a large cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 338 cases of chronic cystic mastopathy.
    • Review of clinical data, pathological findings, treatment outcomes, and follow-up information.

    Main Results:

    • CCM was predominantly unilateral (88.7%) and most common in women aged 40-49 (over 50%).
    • Cancer transformation occurred in 5.3% of cases, with mastopathic changes found in 25.6% of breast cancers.
    • Surgical intervention, primarily excision, was required, with repeat surgeries in a significant proportion of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic cystic mastopathy requires careful clinical evaluation due to its high prevalence and potential association with malignancy.
    • Surgical management, while often effective, may necessitate repeat procedures.
    • Long-term follow-up is important for managing residual symptoms like breast pain.
