Overview
Historical Perspective
James Paget had described Paget disease of the nipple in 1874. Radcliffe Crocker reported the first case of EMPD in 1889 when he described a patient with a skin lesion affecting the penis and scrotum the findings of which were identical to those described by Paget. EMPD is found in a number of locations where apocrine glands are common.
