Paget’s disease of the breast: a case series

Abstract

Paget’s disease of the nipple is a rare disease with a rather bizarre presentation which makes the diagnosis easily missed. Three cases are presented here with different modes of presentation and histological findings. A biopsy provided the definitive diagnosis in the three patients and the treatments offered was based on the histological findings - modified radical mastectomy and simple mastectomy for invasive carcinoma and carcinoma in-situ respectively.
