Overview
Differential Diagnosis
- Erosive adenomatosis of the nipple can simulate Paget's disease of the Breast when the latter is circumscribed to the nipple. The chronic evolution and histopathological results make the diagnosis.
- Cutaneous extension of a mammary carcinoma is rare and should be suspected in case of nipple retraction or adherence. Once more, histopathological results set the diagnosis.
- Differential diagnoses should also be made with inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, chronic contact dermatitis and lactiferous duct ectasia.
