Overview
Other Imaging Findings
Mammogram
In clinical suspicion of Paget's disease of the breast, mammography can help to detect the underlying malignancy. Mammography findings include:[1]
- Skin thickening
- Malignant calcification
- Masses at the level of the nipple
- Architectural distortion
- Nipple retraction
However, the literature reports that the mammography can be negative in 22%–50% of patients. As underlying carcinoma is common even in women with a benign mammogram and no palpable mass, the breast ultrasound and MRI may be useful in detecting the lesion. Ultrasound can be considered a part of initial evaluation and helpful for increasing sensitivity of mammography.
