Abstract

Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare malignant disorder of the skin, which was described
in as early as the nineteenth century. EMPD usually occurs as a single lesion in the apocrine sweat
gland–bearing skin with abundant hair follicles. Here, we present an elderly man who suffered from
a non-resolving chronic genital pruritus for 8 months. Initially, he was managed for recurrent fungal
infection and eczema. Later, a diagnosis of the rare condition multiple primary EMPD was made
based on the histopathology findings and appropriate treatment was given.
