AB A  62-year-old  woman  presents  with  a  6-month  history  of  an  eczematous,  scaly,  rash  near  her  nipple.  It  is  mildly  pruritic.  On  physical  examination,  the  nipple  and  the  areola  are  involved  (Figure  94-1).  Also,  a  hard  mass  is  present  in  the  lateral  lower  quadrant  of  the  same  breast.  A  4-mm  punch  biopsy  of  the  affected  area  including  the  nipple  demonstrates  Paget  disease.  The  mammogram  is  suspicious  for  breast  cancer  at  the  site  of  the  mass  and  the  patient  is  referred  to  a  breast  surgeon.
