Core Tip	Mammary Paget’s disease, also known as Paget’s disease of the breast, may present as chronic nipple eczema without a detectable underlying malignant lesion on conventional imaging. In this case, diagnosis required repeat biopsy and magnetic resonance imaging despite initially benign imaging findings. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion and pursue histopathologic evaluation when unilateral nipple-areolar dermatitis persists, even in the absence of radiologic evidence of malignancy.
