Michael says, regarding Pagets' disease: << I honestly don't remember enough about the details of how different forms of breast cancer present to be certain, but it certainly sounds very familiar from med school. >> I had a mom once with something that presented just exactly like this only it was bilateral. I suspected it was eczema, related to her baby having just started solids and still nursing, and she having a reaction of some sort to his saliva. I referred her on to a breast specialist at a breast clinic at one of the hospitals in our area who concurred with my hunch, but also mentioned it is always good to get something like this checked out as it could be Pagets' Disease. The major difference in symptomatology, of course, would be that eczema would present (probably) on both nipples, and Pagets' (probably) only on one.
