Paget's disease of the breast
Diagnosis in short

Paget's disease. H&E stain.
LM large epithelioid cells - nested or single - in the epidermis, clear/pale cytoplasm (occasionally eosinophilic), large nucleoli
LM DDx benign Toker cell hyperplasia, malignant melanoma, Bowen's disease, apocrine carcinoma of the skin
IHC CK7 +ve, CEA +ve, S-100 -ve, CK5/6 -ve, HER2 +ve
Gross erythema, +/-weeping, +/-crusted
Site breast
Prognosis usu. associated with invasive breast carcinoma
Clin. DDx nipple adenoma, contact dermatitis

Paget's disease of the breast, also Paget disease of the breast and Paget's disease of the nipple, is a lesion of the breast. It is abbreviated PDB.[1]

There is also a Paget's disease of the bone - just to make things confusing. This is dealt with in its own article and has nothing (from a pathologic perspective) to do with the Paget's disease discussed in this article; these two things just happened to be discovered by the same guy.

Non-bone Paget's disease is subdivided into:

  1. Mammary Paget's disease - dealt with in this article.
  2. Extramammary Paget's disease.

Histologically, i.e. under the microscope, the above are essentially identically; however, the associations (and prognosis) are quite different!

General

  • Cells in the epithelium, i.e. skin, that look like they don't belong.
  • Associated with underlying invasive breast carcinoma.[2]

Note:

Gross

Features:[3]

  • Erythematous, i.e. red.
  • +/-Crusted.
  • +/-Weeping (wet).

DDx - clinical:

Images:

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Epitheliod morphology (round/ovoid).
  • Cells nested or single.
  • Clear/pale cytoplasm key feature - may also be eosinophilic.
  • Large nucleoli.

Note:

  • The neoplastic cells of Paget's disease may contain melanin.[7]

IHC

Panel:[2]

  • S-100 -ve, HMB-45 -ve (both typically +ve in melanoma).
  • CK7 +ve. (???)
    • Toker cells CK7 +ve.[9]
  • CEA +ve (-ve in Bowen's disease, -ve in Toker cells).

Additional:

  • HER2/neu - usually +ve.
  • CK5/6 -ve.[10]
    • Usu. +ve in squamous cell carcinoma.[11]

Tabular comparison

IHC features of Paget disease and its DDx:[12][13]

Entity CK5/6 CK7 CAM5.2 EMA CEA HER2 S100 HMB-45
Paget disease CK5/6 -ve CK7 +ve (?) CAM5.2 +ve EMA +ve CEA +ve HER2 +ve S100 -ve HMB-45 -ve
Bowen disease CK5/6 +ve CK7 -ve CAM5.2 -ve EMA -ve CEA -ve HER2 -ve (?) S100 -ve HMB-45 -ve
Toker cell hyperplasia CK5/6 ? CK7 +ve CAM5.2 ? EMA +ve/-ve[14] CEA -ve[15] HER2 -ve[9] S100 -ve[15] HMB-45 ?
Melanoma CK5/6 -ve CK7 -ve CAM5.2 -ve EMA -ve CEA -ve HER2 -ve S100 +ve HMB-45 +ve
