Paget disease of the nipple

Paget disease of the nipple

A rare type of breast cancer that involves the nipple and, usually, the areola (the darker circle of skin around the nipple). Symptoms of mammary Paget disease of the nipple include itching, tingling, or redness in the nipple and/or areola; flaking, crusty, or thickened skin on or around the nipple; a flattened nipple; and yellowish or bloody discharge from the nipple. The affected breast may also have one or more tumors. Most people with mammary Paget disease of the nipple also have ductal carcinoma in situ (stage 0 breast cancer) or invasive breast cancer.
