Overview

Mammogram may be performed to detect the breast cancer associated with Paget's disease of the breast, but is not always a reliable procedure for detecting it as it has limited reliability in the detection of underlying DCIS in people with this disease.

Other Imaging Findings

Mammogram

99mTc MIBI prone scinti-mammography

  • Intraductal proliferative Paget cells are shown to have a strong and characteristic 99mTc MIBI uptake.
  • This is said to be due to the proliferation, tumor growth and the oncogene overexpression of Paget’s cells.[6]
  • Literature correlating Paget's disease of he breast with this technique is limited.[7]
