JISC case 01497


  • Male, 59 years old
  • Clinical details:
    The patient complained of a red, itching growth on right nipple and adjacent skin for one year. Simple excision was done, and he was well five years later. Replacing the nipple was a rounded mass 1.5cm in diameter, rough, shaggy and finely papillary and friable. See diagram in reprint.
  • Diagnosis:
    A very rare kind of tumour - a cornifying papillary intra-epidermal carcinoma of male nipple and adjacent skin. Some parts are like Bowen's disease, others like Paget's disease but changes are entirely intra-epidermal and not involving underlying ducts.
  • System:
    Skin
  • Specimen:
    Excision
  • Date:
    29.09.1953

  • Published paper:
    The Journal of Pathology and Bacteriology, Volume 77, Issue 2 (p 565-574)
