Overview

Paget's disease of the breast was first discovered by James Paget, a British surgeon and physiologist, in 1874.The characteristic erythema and eczematous changes of the nipple seen with Paget’s disease of the breast were first described by Velpeau in 1856. The correlation between intraductal cancer and Paget’s disease of the breast was by Jacobeus in 1904.The background for the epidermotropic theory, that ducts containing carcinoma cells were apparently connected to overlying nipples containing Paget’s cells, was demonstrated by Muir and Inglis in 1939 and 1946 respectively. The first case of Paget's disease in a male was described by Elbogen in 1908.

Historical Perspective

  • The characteristic erythema and eczematous changes of the nipple seen with Paget’s disease of the breast were first described by Velpeau in 1856.
  • Paget's disease of the breast was first discovered by James Paget, a British surgeon and physiologist, in 1874[1].
  • Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a histologically identical entity first described by Crocker in 1889[2].
  • The correlation between intraductal cancer and Paget’s disease of the breast was by Jacobeus in 1904.
  • These findings of breast cancer being the underling cause of Paget's disease was later supported by Muir and Inglis in 1935[3].
  • The background for the epidermotropic theory, that ducts containing carcinoma cells were apparently connected to overlying nipples containing Paget’s cells, was demonstrated by Muir and Inglis in 1939 and 1946 respectively[4].
  • The first case of Paget's disease in a male was described by Elbogen in 1908[5].
