Description
Nipple biopsy is usually performed under local anesthesia, but sedation or general
anesthesia is occasionally used. The aim of the nipple biopsy is to exclude carcinoma.
Paget’s disease is in situ carcinoma of the nipple characterized by erythema,
scaling, or ulceration of the nipple, which is often associated with an underlying
breast carcinoma (95 %).
