Differential DiagnosisHistory: Mammary Paget's disease is an eczema like plaque which originates as a ductal carcinoma of the nipple and slowly spreads out over the nipple and breast.This is an exceptionally extensive case.An apparent unilateral eczema of the nipple that fails to respond to a topical steroid should make you think of this condition and take a skin biopsy.
