Background: Extramammary Paget’s Disease (EMPD) is a rare disease characterized by intraepithelial involvement of the skin by non-squamous carcinoma cells in areas containing apocrine glands such as the vulva, perineum, perianal area, scrotum, and penis.
Case presentation: A 48 year old woman complained of a non-healing wound in the genital area for 1 year. The wound feels painful and does not bleed easily. No lumps were found anywhere else.
