Abstract
Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare form of primary or secondary intraepithelial adenocarcinoma typically presenting within the fifth through seventh decades of life. Though cases of EMPD localized to the scrotum are typically not associated with underlying malignancy, evaluation of dermal and angiolymphatic invasion in conjunction with pertinent laboratory investigations, e.g., serum CEA, is essential to rule out malignancy and metastatic disease. We present a case of EMPD in an elderly male that presented with a history of a longstanding asymptomatic scrotal lesion that was ultimately managed with excision and skin grafting.
