Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMP) is a rare form of intraepithelial adenocarcinoma that primarily affects older women. This case report describes a 40-year-old patient diagnosed with EMP who presented with a rapidly growing, painful, and bleeding perianal erosion that did not respond to antifungal treatment. The patient underwent wide excision of the lesion and the postoperative course was uneventful. The case highlights the importance of considering EMP in the differential diagnosis of perianal eruptions, particularly in older women, and emphasizes the need for careful histological examination and appropriate management.
