Key Points about Mammary Paget’s Disease
- Definition: Mammary Paget’s disease is a rare form of breast cancer that typically affects the skin of the nipple and areola, characterized by the presence of malignant cells.
- Causes: The condition is associated with underlying ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive breast cancer in the majority of cases.
- Symptoms: Patients often present with eczematous changes of the nipple and areola, including redness, flaking, itching, and sometimes ulceration. There may be associated nipple discharge or a palpable lump in the breast.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis is confirmed by a biopsy of the affected tissue, which reveals Paget cells. Imaging such as mammography and MRI may be used to assess the underlying breast tissue for malignancy.
- Management: Treatment typically involves surgery, such as mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery, often followed by radiotherapy. Systemic treatments like chemotherapy or hormone therapy may be considered depending on the underlying breast cancer.
- Complications: If left untreated, Mammary Paget’s disease can progress to invasive breast cancer, with a higher risk of metastasis and poor prognosis.
