Abstract
|
|
|
|
Paget’s disease of the breast was first described in 1874 by Sir James Paget observing 15 women with chronic nipple ulceration who all went on to develop cancer of the involved breast within two years (1). It is a clinical entity which became known as Paget disease of the breast (PDB) and was subsequently discovered that the characteristic malignant cells are present within the epidermis of the nipple and it is frequently associated with breast parenchymal malignancy (2, 3). Although PDB is a less common presentation of breast cancer than is palpable mass or mammographic abnormality, it is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of a chronic persistent abnormality. We will review of the disease with characteristic radiologic findings that would facilitate early and precise detection and appropriate treatment.
