A case of Paget's disease of the anal mucosa with an underlying carcinoma demonstrating mucoepidermoid features is reported. The histopathologic characteristics of both extramammary Paget's disease and mucoepidermoid carcinoma are noted. Special histochemical staining procedures were consistent with the diagnosis. The actual histogenesis of extramammary Paget's disease and mucoepidermoid carcinomas are controversial topics that are briefly discussed in this paper.
