An abnormal or bad condition of the nipple or breast tissue.
From Greek 'kakos' (bad) + 'thele' (nipple). This medical term was coined to describe pathological changes specifically affecting breast tissue or the nipple.
Medical terminology can get incredibly specific—there are dozens of words just for breast conditions, reflecting how doctors in the 18th and 19th centuries invented a term for virtually every observable bodily variation they could think of.
