Summary:
Paget’s disease of nipple is a rare entity of malignant lesion
of breast and bilateral Paget’s disease is very uncommon. It
presents as eczema like condition of the nipple areola which
persists despite local treatment. As it is a superficial
manifestation of underlying breast carcinoma high degree
of suspicion is essential for proper recognition of this
condition, so that early diagnostic work up can be initiated
for differentiating it from other benign inflammatory skin
disorder and for detecting an underlying breast carcinoma,
thereby delay in proper treatment can be avoided in order to
avoiding dismal consequences. Here we report a case of
bilateral Paget’s disease of nipple with invasive left breast
carcinoma in a 40 year old lady diagnosed in Medical College
for Women and Hospital, Uttara, Dhaka.
Key words: Paget’s disease, Breast carcinoma.
