Original Source: Ectopic Extramammary Paget's Disease: Case Report and Literature Review.
Extramammary Paget's disease that occurs in non-apocrine-bearing regions is referred to as ectopic and has been rarely reported. A 62-year-old man presented with a slowly progressive, asymptomatic light-brown plaque on his back. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of large pale cells with prominent nuclei, which proliferated diffusely and focally in the epidermis. Immuno-histochemically the tumour cells were positive for CK7, GCDFP-15, CEA, and p63. Based on these findings, we diagnosed the...
