title: [Mastalgia].
abstract: A series of 624 cases of breast pain examined over a period of 5 years is reviewed in the light of age, fecundity, side affected, and occupation. The gynaecological evidence made it clear that most cases where attributable to hormone disorders. In particular, there were no instances in which initial cancer was detected as a result of the pain symptom. The findings are discussed in the light of the literature.
