Mastitis most commonly occurs in breastfeeding women. It typically occurs within the first few weeks of breast feeding. Sometimes it occurs if you suddenly stop breastfeeding and the breasts become engorged with milk. Mastitis sometimes occurs in women who are not breastfeeding. Bacteria get into the milk ducts of the breast to cause the infection. This is often through a crack or sore in the nipple, (or from a nipple piercing), but some women without sore nipples develop mastitis.

Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the breast Worldwide, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung cancer (10.4% of all cancer incidence, both sexes counted) and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. Worldwide, breast cancer is by far the most common cancer amongst women, with an incidence rate more than twice that of colorectal cancer and cervical cancer and about three times that of lung cancer. However breast cancer mortality worldwide is just 25% greater than that of lung cancer in women. In 2005, breast cancer caused 502,000 deaths worldwide (7% of cancer deaths; almost 1% of all deaths).The number of cases worldwide has significantly increased since the 1970s, a phenomenon partly blamed on modern lifestyles in the Western world.

The disease is most commonly diagnosed in women over age 50. Very few women under age 30 develop it. Despite the rise in incidence, there has been a small drop in the number of deaths in the recent years and only about one-fifth of cases prove fatal. This reduction is due to improvements in treatment and the increased use of mammography for screening, which means that tumors can be detected early, when they often respond well to treatment.

Paget's disease of the breast, also called mammary Paget's disease, is a rare breast condition that is often associated with underlying breast cancer. It is believed that Paget's disease of the breast occurs when invasive carcinoma or intraductal carcinoma (cancer of the milk ducts) spreads through the milk ducts to the nipple.
Although in most cases the underlying breast cancer is extensive, in 10% of the cases, cancer only affects the nipple and surrounding tissue. Rarely, there is no detectable underlying breast cancer.
