Answer:

Paget Disease

Step-by-step explanation:

Paget's breast disease is a rare type of breast disorder that is usually related to other types of breast cancer. This disease is rare in women before the age of 40, and is most often diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 60. Although rare, breast Paget's disease can also arise in men.

The diagnosis of breast Paget's disease is made by the mastologist through diagnostic tests and assessment of symptoms such as breast nipple pain, local irritation and peeling, and chest nipple pain and itching.

The diagnosis of Paget's disease of the breast is made by the doctor through the evaluation of symptoms and characteristics of the woman's breast, as well as imaging exams, such as breast ultrasound and magnetic resonance, for example. In addition, mammography is indicated to check for breast lumps or microcalcifications that may be indicative of invasive carcinoma.
