Summary We report a case of umbilical Paget's disease occurring in a patient with a prostatic carcinoma. No other malignancy was found, and the patient was treated by surgical excision of the lesion. To our knowledge, the occurrence of extramammary Paget's disease of the umbilicus has not been reported previously. The clinical presentation, its association with prostatic carcinoma, and the possible pathogenesis are discussed.
