Ten genital skin specimens, biopsy proven to be Paget's disease, were examined by human papillomavirus (HPV) in situ hybridization in an effort to detect DNA of HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, and 35. All ten specimens showed no evidence of DNA of these HPV types. Extra‐mammary Paget's disease is probably not a result of infection with HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, or 35.
