Patients usually present with a long-standing unilateral, ill-defined, erythematous or whitish-gray, crusted patch or plaque. This tumor almost never occurs outside of the anogenital or axillary areas. objective. <P></P>We report the first case of &#147;ectopic&#148; extramammary Paget&#039;s neoplasm afflicting the face. methods. <P></P>The excisional specimen from a 67-year-old man was reviewed. Histology and immunohistochemistry studies were performed on the specimen. results. <P></P>Histology revealed hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, acanthosis, and proliferation of cytologically atypical epithelioid cells permeating the epidermis and the cutaneous adnexae. Special stains showed reactivity to cytokeratins (AE1/AE), epithelial membrane antigen, and carcinoembryonic antigen in the atypical cells. There was no evidence of apocrine glands in the area. conclusion. <P></P>Herein we present the first case of truly &#147;ectopic&#148; extramammary Paget&#039;s disease on the face.",
