Paget's disease of the breast nipple is an eczematous skin change of the nipple-areola complex often associated with an underlying in-situ or invasive carcinoma. The usefulness of cytology in the diagnosis of Paget's disease has been suggested only in few studies despite the fact that it offers definitive advantages over surgical excision biopsy. Easy practicability, quick, cost-effective and non-invasive stands opposite a limited sensitivity as disadvantage. We report a case of Paget's disease of nipple diagnosed by nipple touch smears.
乳腺乳头佩吉特病是乳头乳晕复合体的一种湿疹样皮肤改变，常与潜在的原位癌或浸润性癌相关。尽管细胞学检查相对于手术切除活检具有明显优势，但仅有少数研究表明其在佩吉特病诊断中的有用性。其易于操作、快速、经济高效且无创，但缺点是敏感性有限。我们报告一例通过乳头触摸涂片诊断的乳头佩吉特病病例。
