Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mastitis is typically associated with breastfeeding, but it can also occur in women who have never been pregnant. However, it is relatively rare in these cases. Option A is false as there is no evidence to suggest that having mastitis increases the risk of breast cancer. Option C is not an appropriate response as it could induce anxiety in the patient as a phyllodes tumor is very rare. Option D is not relevant as the patient has already disclosed that she has never been pregnant.
