martha is a 65-year-old woman who is a new patient to you. in telling you her history, she states that she has a history of a rare type of breast cancer. she cannot remember the name of it but tells you that it also involved itchy eczema-like nipple changes. with this info and your knowledge of breast cancer, you surmise that she may be referring to:

• bowens disease
• lobular neoplasia
• pagets disease
• wernickes disease

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Bowen's disease: A type of skin cancer, not typically associated with breast cancer - nipple changes as described.
• Lobular neoplasia: Involves breast lobules, not characterized by eczema - like nipple changes.
• Paget's disease (of the breast): A rare breast cancer that presents with eczema - like, itchy nipple changes, matching Martha's history.
• Wernicke's disease: Related to thiamine deficiency, affecting the nervous system, not breast cancer.

Answer:

C. Paget's disease
