Abstract
Paget's disease of the breast generally affects middle-aged and older females. In the majority of cases, it is considered to be the result o f epidermal spread from a contiguous mammary duct carcinoma. We report the first case in an adolescent female with an accessory nipple. The histomorphology and immunophenotypic findings support the hypothesis o f in situ transformation and suggest a histologic spectrum exists in t erms of cytologic atypia.
