Abstract

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a uncommon neoplastic condition of apocrine gland-bearing skin and its occurrence in combination with Bowen's disease is very rare. The most common site of involvement is the vulva, although perineal, perianal, scrotal and penile skin may also be affected. EMPD is usually not combined with Bowen's disease. We report an interesting case of EMPD combined with Bowen's disease, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical stain.
