Abstract

Paget’s Breast Disease (PBD) is a type of adenocarcinoma that affects the areola-mammary complex. Its unusual presentation can be confused with inflammatory or dermatological conditions. MPD is associated with breast neoplasms and is characterized by the presence of Paget cells. There are theories about its origin, such as trophoepidermal and intraepidermal transformation. MPD is more common in women between 50 and 60 years old, usually associated with carcinoma in situ or invasive lesions. Diagnosis is difficult and can take years, requiring a biopsy for confirmation. Treatment involves surgery and radiotherapy, especially in advanced cases. Late diagnosis can impact the prognosis and quality of life of patients.
