Overview
Paget's disease is an eczematous skin change of the nipple that is usually associated with an underlying breast malignancy. The condition was first described in 1874 by the surgeon, Sir James Paget, who noted that the chronic eczematous rash of the nipple preceded an underlying intraductal carcinoma.[1]Paget's disease of the breast, also known as Paget's disease of the nipple, is a condition that outwardly may have the appearance of eczema - with skin changes involving the nipple of the breast. Because of its seemingly innocuous and surface appearance, it often presents late, but it is a condition that may be fatal. Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) has the same histologic features as Paget's disease of the breast but different locations.
Historical Perspective
Paget's disease of the breast was first discovered by James Paget, a British surgeon and physiologist, in 1874.[2]
