A Comparative Study of Mammary Paget’s Disease in West Africa and the Middle East
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction The geography of medicine considers disease patterns in different parts of the world [1]. For this reason, it was found of interest to compare the prevalence of Paget’s disease of the breast in the Ibos of West Africa and in the Hebrews of the Middle East. The choice was made on three grounds. Firstly, I had previously published on the Paget cell with reference to its historical attributes [2-4]. Secondly, in an anthropological book, Basden [5] devoted a whole chapter concerning some similarities between the Hebrews and the Ibos, the latter being thought to be a shortened form of the former! Thirdly, a reprint on Paget’s disease was sent to me from the Middle East [6]. Accordingly, its data on the Hebrews will be compared with my personal findings among the Ibos of West Africa.
