Abstract
Paget's disease is an intraepithelial adenocarcinoma arising from the apocrine gland component of the skin. Paget's disease is most common in the breast but extra mammary disease is also seen. Perianal Paget's disease is a rare form of extramammary disease with few cases reported in literature. It can be primary-arising from the skin or secondary-cutaneous metastases of anorectal or genitourinary malignancy. We hereby wish to report a case of perianal Paget's disease that presented as an eczematous lesion and was diagnosed incidentally on biopsy. After appropriate staging, the patient underwent wide local excision till negative margins were obtained. The resultant tissue defect was successfully covered by split-thickness skin grafting.Entities:
