Presentation
When present, the prognosis is the poorest. About 31 (62%) of 50 patients with mammary Paget disease present with a detectable breast mass. [web.archive.org]
Through a collaborative review of patients treated with BCS and RT from seven institutions, 38 cases of Paget disease of the breast presenting without a palpable mass or mammographic density were identified. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since, the initial presentation is limited to skin; it is the dermatologist who plays a key role in making a diagnosis, thus, facilitating proper management. [ijdvl.com]
The prognosis, or outlook, for people with Paget disease of the breast depends on a variety of factors, including the following: Whether or not a tumor is present in the affected breast If one or more tumors are present in the affected breast, whether [cancer.gov]
Skin

Chancre
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS The clinical differential diagnoses of Paget's cells include inflammatory changes such as atopic or contact dermatitis of the nipple, chronic eczema, psoriasis, mammary ductal ectasia with chronic nipple discharge, syphilitic chancre [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Photosensitivity
Investigational Therapies Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a procedure in which a drug known as a photosensitizer is used along with a special type light, has been used to treat some individuals with extramammary Paget’s disease and in rare cases of Paget’ [rarediseases.org]

Skin Patch
In individuals with Paget’s disease of the breast, initial characteristic skin changes may include the appearance of reddish (erythematous), scaling, crusting, and/or abnormally thickened skin patches (plaques) or lesions on the nipple that may extend [rarediseases.org]

Nipple Discharge
If you have nipple discharge, a sample of the discharge might also be collected for microscopic examination. If cancer cells are detected in the samples collected, you may be referred to a breast surgeon to discuss treatment options. [web.archive.org]
Other symptoms include: Redness Swelling Oozing nipple discharge Scaling Bloody nipple discharge Ulceration Inversion of the nipple Scaly, crusty and thickened plaques often form on the nipple, which then spreads to the surrounding area. [dermnetnz.org]
Paget Disease of the Breast Nipple Discharge Breast discharge is the spontaneous flow of fluid from the nipple at any time other than during nursing. [medicinenet.com]

Bloody Nipple Discharge
Possible signs and symptoms of Paget's disease of the breast include: Flaky or scaly skin on your nipple Crusty, oozing or hardened skin resembling eczema, on the nipple, areola or both Redness Itching A burning sensation Straw-colored or bloody nipple [web.archive.org]
Other symptoms include: Redness Swelling Oozing nipple discharge Scaling Bloody nipple discharge Ulceration Inversion of the nipple Scaly, crusty and thickened plaques often form on the nipple, which then spreads to the surrounding area. [dermnetnz.org]
nipple discharge A flattened or turned-in (inverted) nipple A lump in the breast Thickening skin on the breast Signs and symptoms usually occur in one breast only. [mayoclinic.org]

Bleeding from the Nipple
from the nipple the area might feel itchy or sore there may be a lump in the same breast. [breast-cancer.canceraustralia.gov.au]
Workup
Proper recognition of this disorder is required to initiate an appropriate workup (eg, skin biopsy) for differentiating it from other benign inflammatory dermatosis and for detecting an underlying breast carcinoma. [web.archive.org]

Lymphocytic Infiltrate

Treatment

Surgery Surgery is the main treatment for Paget’s disease. [web.archive.org]
The histogenesis of Paget's disease of the breast continues to be debated and is important when considering treatment options. [doi.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis[edit] The presence of three factors for the prognosis has been suggested, whether there is a palpable mass of the disease, whether lymph nodes are positive and whether there is an underlying malignant cancer. [en.wikipedia.org]
Patients generally have a very good prognosis depending on the extent of the malignancy. [aocd.org]
The prognosis for extramammary Paget's disease secondary to underlying neoplasia is worse than when the disease has arisen primarily within the epidermis. It depends on the prognosis of the underlying carcinoma. [doi.org]
Etiology
[…] genitalia and perineal skin may be associated with bladder, urethra, prostate cancer, or colorectal neoplasia. [3] Due to such associations, a complete investigation for an underlying carcinoma should accompany every confirmed diagnosis of EMPD. [4] Etiology [e-ijd.org]
The purpose of the work is to make a clinical laboratory evaluation of the role of urogenital opportunistic pathogenic flora in etiology and pathogenesis of pathological uterine cervix conditions and to identify possible preventive measures to uterine [giog.it]
Etiology The disease is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding 3-beta-hydroxy-delta-5-C27 steroid oxidoreductase (HSD3B7, 16p12-p11.2). Transmission is autosomal recessive. [orpha.net]
Occasionally two or three bone marrows performed over time are necessary to establish an etiology. Referral to a center that specializes in bone marrow failure disorders is indicated is such cases. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Etiology MPD and EMPD are neoplastic processes. The causes and cells of origin are controversial. Pathophysiology MPD is largely believed to originate from underlying ductal carcinoma of the breast. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Prevention
They usually undergo radiation therapy after the actual procedure to prevent recurrence. A breast-conserving surgery consists in the removal of the nipple, areola and the part of the breast that is affected by cancer. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention Because the cause of Paget's disease of the breast is not known, prevention of this disease is not possible. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
