Melanoma in situ of the nipple is an uncommon diagnosis, with only a few reports in the literature. Due to the variety of pathologies that can affect the nipple-areola complex, the diagnosis can be challenging. In this case report we describe a patient with cosmetic bilateral breast implants who presented with eczema of the left nipple-areola complex and suspicious microcalcifications in the lower inner quadrant of the ipsilateral breast on mammography, subsequently diagnosed with nipple melanoma and concomitant ductal carcinoma in situ.
Keywords: Ductal carcinoma in situ; Melanoma in situ; Nipple-areola complex eczema; Nipple-areola complex pathologies; Paget's disease; Primary malignant melanoma of the breast; Uncommon nipple malignancy.
