Overview

Mutations predisposing patients to Paget's disease of the breast have not yet been described in the literature.It is currently hypothesized that intraepidermal cells of Paget's disease may be intrinsically genetically different than those of the underlying breast carcinoma.This has been seen by specific chromosomal alterations identified by loss of heterozygosity and mitochondrial DNA displacement loop sequence analysis.The most widely accepted theory is that the disease results from an underlying intra-ductal breast carcinoma. The cancer cells are hypothesized to travel through lactiferous ducts to the nipple and its surrounding skin. Another theory is that the disease can develop independently in the nipple as an in-situ carcinoma.

Causes

  • The cause of Paget's disease of the breast has not been identified.
  • There are two widely excepted hypothesis:[1][2][3]
