Comments: The biopsy of perianal skin shows severely atypical cells within the epidermis with abundant cytoplasm , large nuclei and prominent nucleoli. The atypical cells extend to involve appendageal structures. There is no invasive malignancy. Immunohistochemical stains show the atypical cells to stain positively with cytokeratin 7 and epithelial membrane antigen. There is a negative reaction to S100, high molecular weight keratins and cytokeratin 20. The features are those of extra-mammary Paget's disease.
