title: A case report of Paget's disease of the breast treated with radiotherapy alone.
abstract: Paget's disease of the breast is a rare form of breast cancer. Patients with nipple-areolar disease alone and no palpable mass have an excellent prognosis. Although there is some argument about the treatment of this type of Paget's disease, only two reports have been published on the role of conservative treatment. This report discusses a case of limited Paget's disease of the nipple and areola of the breast which was treated by radiation alone without limited surgery.
