Paget’s disease of the male breast
Keywords:
Paget’s disease, Male breast, Mammary Paget’s disease, Breast cancerAbstract
Paget’s disease of the breast is a rare type of breast cancer presenting as an eczematous eruption over of nipple and/or areola. It accounts for 0.8% of all breast cancers. Of all malignant breast cancer, 1% occurs in male patients. The incidence of Paget's disease in male breast is extremely rare. Most of the cases have an underlying breast cancer. It has a different tumor biology that dictates a favorable clinical behavior and outcome. This unique entity therefore merits reporting.
