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).
Malignant epithelial (Paget) cells infiltrate and proliferate in the epidermis, causing thickening of the nipple and the areolar skin.
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).
