A syndicated medical column (by Dr. Paul Donohue of Riverton, NJ) in our
daily newspaper (Democrat and Chronicle) describes Paget's disease of
the nippple.

"Paget's disease of the nipple is a rare breast cancer, accounting for
only 1 percent of all breast cancers.  The cancer arises in milk ducts
that converge at the nipple.  The nipple looks as if it had eczema.
Burning of, or oozing or bleeding from the nipple completes the picture
of Paget's breast disease."

Rare, but perhaps something we should be aware of.
