Lesion of the nipple that clinically resembles an eczematous rash, thought to be a manifestation of high nuclear grade, comedo DCIS affecting subareolar ducts and extending into the epidermis. An associated invasive breast carcinoma is seen in 35% to 50% of affected patients.
also known as osteitis deformans, a chronic skeletal disorder that can lead to deformed or enlarged bones. The bones excessively breakdown and reform leading to bones that are weak, possibly resulting in fractures, pain, and arthritis.
A disease of the bone that initially results in the excessive resorption of bone followed by the replacement of normal bone marrow with vascular and fibrous tissue.
disorder characterized by a greatly accelerated remodeling process; osteoclastic resorption is massive and new bone formation by osteoblasts is extensive, resulting in irregular thickening and softening of the bones
Cancer of the breast that produces rash on and around the nipple.
a disease of bone occurring in the middle aged and elderly; excessive bone destruction sometimes leading to bone pain and fractures and skeletal deformities
A form of breast cancer that occurs in the nipple. Understanding Breast Cancer
a condition where the existing bone is resorbed with simultaneous overgrowth of new, poorly calcified, irregular bone. This type of bone may not have enough density for proper integration of dental implants.
Breast cancer that starts in the ducts and spreads to the nipple; usually presents with scaling, crusting, redness, and the appearance of eczema; it is unilateral and a lump does not have to be present.
A disease characterized by accelerated bone turnover, resulting in the involved bone becoming enlarged but weak and fragile. The bone also feels warmer to touch due to increased blood supply. Also called osteitis deformans.
pathological thickening and weakening of bones of the elderly due to an uncoupling of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities.
Disease of excess bone removal and replacement with deformity. PCL Posterior cruciate ligament.
A non-invasive skin cancer that involves the skin in and about the anus.
A rare form of breast cancer that begins in the milk passages (ducts) and spreads to the skin of the nipple and areola. This affected skin may appear crusted, scaly, red, or oozing.
There are 2 different diseases that are called Paget's disease. One affects the skin around the nipple of the breast and looks a little like ezcema. It is mostly (but not always) a sign that there is a breast cancer in the area underneath. The other Paget's disease is a benign (not cancerous) condition that affects the bones. Having this type of Paget's disease means you have a slightly increased risk of developing a primary bone cancer.
A metabolic bone disease involving an excessive degree of remodeling of bone with increased bone formation. It may cause significant bone pain as well as bony deformity. Although the bone appears dense on X-ray, it is actually more brittle and has a tendency to fracture.
Chromic disorder of unknown cause, usually affecting middle aged and elderly people, characterized by enlarged and deformed bones. Excessive breakdown and formation of bone tissue occurs with Paget's disease and can cause bone to weaken, resulting in bone pain, arthritis, deformities, and fractures.
Softening deformity of bone with some thickening as well as thinning. Most prevalent in older individuals; not hormonally based. May have associated nerve trapping causing pain. Cause unknown.
1. A type of cancer usually involving the breast's larger ducts, areola and nipples. 2. A disease characterized by weakened and deformed bones.
