Abstract: Pigmented mammary Paget disease (PMPD) is a rare subtype of mammary Paget disease that presents as a hyperpigmented patch or plaque over the areola and nipple. We herein report on an unusual case of PMPD with reticulated features in a 98-year-old female. The histology showed intraepidermal pagetoid cells containing melanin pigments without any underlying intraductal carcinoma.
