Abstract

We report a 56-year-old man with Paget's disease occurring near the left areola without any underlying breast carcinoma. Histologically, there was no evidence suggesting continuity with a lactiferous duct, accessory breast, or microscopic gynecomastia. We review previous case reports of Paget's disease occurring in unusual sites and discuss their nomenclature from the histogenetic point of view.
