Simple breast hyperplasia

Simple epithelial hyperplasia of mammary glands is an early lesion of mammary dysplasia. It is a common disease of women of childbearing age and can occur in any age group from adolescence to premenopause, especially unmarried women or married women. It is more common for infertile women or women with strong sexual function who have not been breast-fed. The peak age of the disease is 30 to 40 years. Clinically, 50% of women have the symptoms of hyperplasia of mammary glands, while 90% of women have the symptoms of malformations of breasts. Bloodgood first described it in 1922. In 1928, Semb noticed that the disease manifested as breast pain and lumps, and named it simple adenofibroma. In 1931 Beatle called it simple peeling epithelial hyperplasia of the breast; Gescnickter called it matodynia in 1948. Has been used to this day.
