A framework for understanding and management of benign breast disorders is presented, based on the notion that most breast complaints can be explained as minor aberrations of the normal processes of development, cyclical change, and involution. The generic term ANDI (aberrations of normal development and involution) is introduced to allow breast problems to be placed within an overall framework of pathogenesis; this concept also permits more detailed individual assessment with respect to normality and disease. Fibrocystic disease and its synonyms are discarded in favour of terms that are strictly descriptive of the clinical and/or histological picture.
本文提出了一个理解和管理良性乳腺疾病的框架，其基于这样一种观念，即大多数乳腺问题可解释为正常发育、周期性变化和退化过程中的轻微异常。引入通用术语ANDI（正常发育和退化异常），以便将乳腺问题置于发病机制的整体框架内；这一概念还允许对正常情况和疾病进行更详细的个体评估。纤维囊性疾病及其同义词被摒弃，转而采用严格描述临床和/或组织学表现的术语。
