What are symptoms of paget's diease (breast cancer)?

Biopsy: Paget's disease is a rare form of breast cancer. There can be changes on the nipple/areola: discoloration, itching, thickening of the skin, redness, crusting, inversion of nipple. It is diagnosed after obtaining a biopsy of the area on the nipple or areola. In many cases, there are no abnormalities seen on mammogram or ultrasound. Paget's has a good prognosis if diagnosed early.

Skin irritation...: Paget disease often shows up as a skin irritation in and around the nipple and areola area. Most women experience itching and redness of the skin and some degree of oozing and crusting of the skin which is often mistaken for a benign skin condition. But a biopsy often reveals cancer cells in the skin and often a hidden lump is fiound in the breast, which is cancerous.
