  James Paget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paget was born at Yarmouth, England on the January 11th, 1814, the son of a brewer and shipowner.
It is Paget's greatest achievement that he made pathology dependent, in everything, on the use of the microscope, especially the pathology of tumors.
He discovered the Paget's disease of the breast and the Paget's disease of the bones (osteitis deformans) which are called after his name; and he was the first to urge removal of the tumour, instead of amputation of the limb, in cases of myeloid sarcoma.

 Sir James Paget
Paget managed to keep himself by writing for the medical journals, and preparing the catalogues of the hospital museum and of the pathological museum of the Royal College of Surgeons.
In 1836 he had been made curator of the hospital museum, and in 1838 demonstrator of morbid anatomy at the hospital; but his advancement there was hindered by the privileges of the hospital apprentices, and by the fact that he had been too poor to afford a house-surgeoncy, or even a dressership.

Paget disease is believed to develop in persons in their fifth decade and is most commonly diagnosed in people in the sixth decade of life.
Paget disease of the skull may be asymptomatic; however, approximately one third of patients experience an increase in head size with or without deformity (frontal bossing, enlarged maxilla), headaches, hearing loss, and, rarely, nerve damage leading to a loss of sensation.
According to the infectious theory of Paget disease, bone marrow cells (the progenitors of osteoclasts) are infected by a virus that causes an abnormal increase in osteoclast formation.

 Paget's Disease of the Breast
Paget's disease of the breast is a rare form of breast cancer that almost exclusively occurs in women.
Paget's disease of the breast is characterized by inflammatory, "eczema-like" changes of the nipple that may extend to involve the areola, which is the circular, darkened (pigmented) region of skin surrounding the nipple.
In those with Paget's disease of the breast, distinctive tumor cells (known as Paget cells) are present within the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) of the nipple.

Paget cells and underlying ductal carcinoma cells have been shown to be positive for the oncogene Her-2Neu, suggesting common genetic alterations for both the epidermal and breast tumor cells.
Paget cells are situated suprabasally above flattened basal keratinocytes with occasional ductal formation, whereas melanoma cells are located in the basal epidermis and all layers of the epidermis, the so-called intraepidermal pagetoid spread (see Image 5).
The malignant Paget cells are derived from luminal lactiferous ductal epithelium (A) of the breast tissue with retrograde extension of cancerous Paget cells into the epidermis of the overlying nipple (B).

 Paget's Disease
Paget's disease of the breast is an uncommon type of cancer that occurs in 1 to 4 percent of all people with breast cancer.
This type of cancer was named after Sir James Paget, a scientist who noted an association between changes in the appearance of the nipple and underlying breast cancer.
In one theory, cancer cells called Paget cells break off from a tumor (an abnormal mass of tissue) in the breast and move through the milk ducts in the breast to the surface of the nipple.

 Help for People with Paget's Disease
Paget's disease is the second most common bone disease in the United States.
Because new bone formation occurs as part of the process of repair in pagetic bone, it is important that along with calcitonin and the bisphosphonates to inhibit abnormal bone breakdown, patients eat a diet that provides 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium and 400 International Units of vitamin D daily.
Since Paget's disease often runs in families, medical experts recommend that people with a family history of Paget's disease have their serum alkaline phosphatase measured after age 40, since the disease rarely shows up in people under 40.

 James Paget gets outsider PACS
