Description
Mariana Chrispim Gimenez and co-authors report ectopic extramammary Paget disease on the scalp in a man aged sixty-six. The disease is a skin adenocarcinoma found in the epidermis, most often where apocrine glands are dense, such as groin and armpit skin. On the scalp, where such glands are sparse, it counts as ectopic and can mimic other skin diseases.
The man had past disease in both groin folds, treated with Mohs surgery, then new sites kept appearing near prior scars. Biopsies with special staining mapped hidden spread at all three groin sites. The case shows how this disease can recur in patches and turn up far from its usual ground.
