Paget disease of the breast, also Paget's disease of the breast and Paget disease of the nipple, is a thingy seen in the breast. It is abbreviated PDB.[1]

There is also a Paget disease of the bone - just to make things confusing. This is dealt with in the bone article and has nothing (from a pathologic perspective) to do with the Paget disease discussed in this article; these two things just happened to be discovered by the same guy.

Non-bone Paget disease is subdivided into:

  1. Mammary Paget disease - dealt with in this article.
  2. Extramammary Paget disease.

Histologically, i.e. under the microscope, the above are essentially identically; however, the associations (and prognosis) are quite different!

General

  • Cells in the epithelium, i.e. skin, that look like they don't belong.
  • Associated with underlying invasive breast carcinoma.[2]

Note:

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Epitheliod morphology (round/ovoid).
  • Cells nested or single.
  • Clear/pale cytoplasm key feature - may also be eosinophilic.
  • Large nucleoli.

Images:

DDx

IHC

Panel:[2]

  • S-100 -ve, HMB-45 -ve (both typically +ve in melanoma).
  • CK7 +ve. (???)
    • Toker cells CK7 +ve.[4]
  • CEA +ve (-ve in Bowen's disease, -ve in Toker cells).

Additional:

  • HER2/neu - usually +ve.
  • CK5/6 -ve.[5]
    • Usu. +ve in squamous cell carcinoma.[6]
