Rare: Most lesion of breast origin occur in the parenchyma of the breast itself and appear first on mammo and then as a small palpable lesion. The rarer form of Pagets disease begins In the terminal ducts which ends in the formation of the nipple. Rare for malignancies to appear as a small areola lesion. If it persists or enlarges, bx should be performed.
