Three different types of chronic mastitis were seen in a review of cases over a twenty‐five‐year‐period. These were tuberculous mastitis, non‐specific granulomatous mastitis, and oleogranulomatous mastitis. Their common modes of presentation and some of the difficulties encountered in diagnosing these lesions are discussed.
