Galactocele, also known as milk retention cyst, is mainly caused by blockage of a duct during lactation, which causes milk stasis and forms a cyst. It often occurs during pregnancy and lactation or after lactation. The lumps are mostly round or oval, with a smooth surface, a cystic feel, clear boundaries, wide mobility and no adhesion to the skin. When secondary infection occurs, local inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, heat and pain may be seen. There is enlarged lymph nodes in the axillary of the affected side, which belongs to the category of "breast lumps" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Simple cysts are breast secretions that are retained in the ductal tissue to form cysts. The breast epithelial cells in the affected area have obvious apocrine secretions. It is due to endocrine disorders that cause ductal epithelial hyperplasia and an increase in cells in the duct, which causes the duct to extend and tortuosity. The anterior wall of the folded part undergoes necrosis due to ischemia, forming a cyst. Patients often discover a lump accidentally. The lumps are round, oval, or ovoid, with smooth surfaces, clear boundaries, mobility, and single or multiple. In single cases, the lump grows rapidly. The patient complains of discovering a breast lump overnight. The cyst is often accompanied by breast pain before menstruation.
