Paget's disease if Nipple- Review
Clinical:Approximately 1% –3% of women with adenocarcinoma of the breast have Paget disease. Clinically-Paget disease has common dermatitis-like appearance, as originally described in 1874, when Sir James Paget recorded that such lesions may resemble “ordinary chronic eczema” or present as nipple erosion or ulceration. Paget disease often has a deceptively banal clinical morphology but should lead the list of differential diagnoses when evaluating unilateral lesions of the nipple–areola complex in adults.Paget disease presenting with nipple erosion. Most women with the histopathologic finding of Paget disease ...

Breast Cancer
Pathophysiology of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a:
1) neoplastic transformation of glandular epithelium of the terminal duct unit, lactiferous proximal ducts, or lobules of the breast
2) almost always adenocarcinoma
3) classification is controversial, but most experts recognize in situ (malignant cells do not invade through the basement membrane) and invasive forms
4) in situ types – intraductal (comedo and noncomedo sutypes) in situ, lobular in situ, and papillary in situ
5) invasive types – ductal, lobular, tubular, colloid, and medullary
Signs and Symptoms
1) palpable mass – hard, irregular, no discr...
