Type of DCIS resulting in palpable abnormality
Correct Answer: Paget's disease
Description: Paget disease of the nipple is caused by the extension of DCIS up the lactiferous ducts and into the contiguous skin of the nipple, producing a unilateral crusting exudate over the nipple and areolar skin. In almost all cases, an underlying carcinoma is present, and approximately 50% of the time this carcinoma is invasive. Prognosis is based on the underlying carcinoma and is not affected by the presence of Paget disease ref : Robbins Basic Pathology, 9E,page-710
