ABSTRACT
Objective: To report the frequency of Paget’s disease in Breast Center of San José TecSalud
Hospital, Monterrey, analysis and comparison with the literature of its clinical characteristics
and by image.
Method: Cross-sectional, retrospective study. A review of the positive results for cancer by
pathological anatomy from 2008 to 2016 of the patients biopsied in our institution and of
the confirmed cases of Paget’s disease, their clinical and imaging findings were analyzed.
Our results were compared with that reported in the literature.
Results: The prevalence of Paget’s disease was 0.85% of all breast carcinomas in our institution,
all of the patients female. The age range was from 25 to 86 years, with an average
of 50 years. The majority of our patient’s present clinical changes in the nipple-areola complex
and only one presents palpable mass. 100% of our cases were associated with cancer.
The most frequent mammography findings in our study were calcifications, nipple retraction
and nipple. Mammography was negative by 16%. Ultrasound did not improve the
detection of cancer in the present study; its main contribution was the detection of metastatic
lymph nodes. In one patient with negative mammography and ultrasound, a resonance
lesion was demonstrated.
Conclusion: Paget’s disease is an infrequent disease; however, it is very important for the
radiologist to know this pathology and its differential diagnosis due to its high association
with carcinoma and thus help in its early diagnosis and adequate treatment.
