Extramammary Paget's disease is a rare cutaneous neoplasm typically occurring in the vulva of Caucasian women after menopause. Clinically, the most common symptom is pruritus, when an erythematous, desquamative and eczematous lesion can be observed. Due to the rarity and nonspecific appearance of the disease, it can be confused with other dermatological conditions, delaying diagnosis. The present case demonstrates a form of vulvar extramammary unilateral Paget's disease confirmed by anatomical pathologic and immunohistochemical study. The standard treatment used for the disease in this case was surgical and the patient underwent complete excision of the lesion, with continued monitoring every six months.
