I pretty much understand everything except 1 thing.

Under Microscopic Summary: mine says

Pattern: solid cribriform, micropapillary and pagetoid.

What is pagetoid?

I have been all over the web, can anyone explain is simple terms to me??

Hugs and blessings to all!

    Look up paget's disease. It's a rare nipple cancer that often signifies an underlying breast cancer. In my case my only symptom was nipple color change over the last year. Often times it manifest itself as dry, peeling,bleeding, cracked nipples. My final pathology said pagetoid's disease(Paget's disease).
