Abstract
We report a case of Paget's disease of the mamma and axilla which occurred simultaneously. An 80-year-old woman, who visited another hospital because of abnormal discharge from the right nipple and erosion on the right mamma and left axilla, was seen at the hospital because she was aware of a right breast tumor and no remission of the erosion was observed. A 3×4cm tumor was palpable in the CA region of the right breast. Needle aspiration cytology offered a diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma. Histological examinations of the erosion of the mamma and axilla showed numerous Paget's cell. Simultaneous occurrence of mammary and axillary Paget's disease like this case is very rare, and have not been reported previously, to our knowledge. When we inspect mammary lesions, careful observation including distant cutaneous change would be mandatory.
