Paget's disease is caused by breast cancer and is present in about 2% of all breast cancers. It typically results when malignant cells from an underlying carcinoma that originated in the ducts of the mammary glands spread to the epithelium.

Recommended tests are a mammogram and a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment usually involves some kind of mastectomy to surgically remove the tumour. Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy may be necessary.

The condition is named after Sir James Paget, an English surgeon who first described it in 1874.
