Abstract
We report a rare case of male Paget’s disease associated with underlying breast cancer A 60-year-old man presented at our clinic, complaining an erythematous plaque with a slight induration on the areola. The histopathological findings of the lesion showed a proliferation of Paget’s cells in the epidermis. In addition, there also clusters of the large, pale atypical epithelial cells representing an invasive growth pattern as well as an intraductal proliferation of these atypical cells. We diagnosed male breast cancer associated with Paget’s disease. We also reviewed the previous literature on Paget’s disease occurring in the male breast.
