| TS 5/23/2001 | . | I have a small open sore on the lower part of my nipple. I have had it for some time - it seems to get better and then after a month (?) reappear. I also have occasional yellow discharged from this nipple (mostly when forced). Are these signs of Paget disease or could they be signs of a not so serious problem? |
| CCF-RN,MSN-js 5/24/2001 | TS | Dear TS, Paget’s disease is a rare form of breast cancer. Symptoms usually associated with this are itching, redness, and spontaneous (not forced) nipple discharge. For Paget’s disease to be diagnosed requires a sample of the tissue to be examined under the microscope. Presence of a non-healing sore could be from a number of conditions, however, having it examined by a physician would be prudent. | [Thread closed to new comments] |
