The histogenesis as well as the biological and molecular differences in mammary Paget's disease (MPD) and extramammary Paget's disease (EPD) are not well understood.

It is also believed that the spread of Paget's cells through the epidermis is induced by a motility factor that acts via the HER-2/neu receptor. However,...
