%X <b>Background: </b>Paget&#8217;s disease of the breast also called mammary Paget&#8217;s disease [MPD] was first described by Sir James Paget an English surgeon and a medical pioneer in the 19th century in 1874. In his report, fifteen women with a chronic eczematous disease on the skin of the nipple and the areola also had an associated intra ductal carcinoma of the underlying mammary gland. It is a rare type of cancer that develops in the skin of the nipple, and sometimes the areola, for this reason patients tend to take it less seriously. <b>Conclusion: </b>The treatment for Paget&#8217;s disease of the breast typically involves surgery, usually a mastectomy or breast conserving surgery with radiation, and effective chemotherapy or hormone therapy, depending on the underlying cancer&#8217;s characteristics.
