- Abstract
Throughout their lives, women may experience various breast symptoms. Paget's breast disease is a rare tumour of the nipple and is one of the most serious complications a woman may face. The manifestations of Paget's disease do not make the woman think of breast cancer. Signs of onset may be attributed to a skin problem, as the disease is manifested by itching of the nipple, burning or stinging sensation. Very rarely a white-yellowish or reddish discharge may appear. The patient can cause injuries to herself. This disease is not common, but it is more dangerous than others, being often confused with a dermatological condition (psoriasis or eczema) and treated as such, which is a very serious error. This is why Paget's disease of the breast is difficult to diagnose, often too late, in advanced stages of the cancer.
