Paget’s disease of the nipple is a type of breast cancer that primarily affects the skin and area around the nipple (areola). Unlike other breast cancers that typically present as a lump, Paget’s disease usually causes symptoms such as nipple itching, redness, and flaking. It often occurs in conjunction with an underlying ductal breast cancer, but its primary focus is on the nipple skin, making it distinct from other types of breast cancer.
