Summary:This case series aims to describe the clinical presentation of mastitis, the conventional sonography and elastography findings, and histopathological features in the diagnosis of chronic mastitis. We present 3 cases of breast swelling in young ladies with one of the cases is related to breastfeeding with similar imaging appearance of complex breast cyst and the histopathology finding of chronic mastitis.
