Pagets disease of the breast
History of Paget's disease of the breast

Text

Sir James Paget in 1874 was the first person to explain about the Paget's disease of the breast. He described the disease to be a chronic eczematous rash affecting the skin of the nipple and areola. The disease is also seen in close association with the intraductal carcinoma of the underlying mammary gland. In 1881 Thin reported his histological findings of the Paget's disease. Paget's disease of the breast occurs mainly in the women but is rarely seen in males also (1%).

Error in this statement?- is 9% survival after 5 yrs supposed to say 90% "The survival rate of patients without palpable breast mass is 9% after 5 years and 80% after 10 years"
