Breast inflammation. Light micrograph of a section through tissue from an inflamed breast. Mastitis (breast inflammation) can be acute or chronic. The acute form is due to a bacterial infection and is treated with antibacterial drugs. The chronic form is due to cysts that form lumps. The lumps do not require treatment, but the possibility of breast cancer must be excluded. Magnification unknown.
