AB Benign  breast  conditions  encompass  nonmalignant  disorders  of  the  breast.  The  pathogenesis  of  these  conditions  is  poorly  understood,  and  little  research  is  being  done  because  most  efforts  are  appropriately  being  directed  toward  breast  cancer.  However,  there  are  large  numbers  of  women  with  benign  breast  conditions,  and  the  treatment  of  mastalgia/mastodynia  is  currently  difficult;  therefore  more  research  is  required  in  this  area.  This  chapter  summarizes  benign  breast  conditions  and  outlines  their  diagnosis  and  management.
