OBJETIVE: We describe the clinical, histological and immunohistochemical studies in a case of extramammary Paget´s disease localized in the scrotum with lymph node inguinal metastasis. METHODS/RESULTS: A 80-year old man consulted with a one-year history of a pruritic erythematous skin rash of the scrotum. Physical examination showed demarcated erythematous lesion involving the scrotum and right inguinal adenopathy. Final histological examination revealed extramammary Paget´s disease with inguinal metastasis. CONCLUSION: Extramammary Paget´s disease of the scrotum is a rare disease. This pathological condition may spread to dermal region and the regional lymph nodes. Although genitourinary cancer may accompany scrotal extramammary Paget´s disease, an extensive search for cancer may be unnecessary..
