  Fig. 1 A nonpruritic erythematous annular patch on the right areolar area.

  Fig. 2 (A) Punch biopsy revealed ductal structures with mild cellular atypia in the epidermis (H&E, ×100). (B) Immunohistochemistry for cytokeratin 7 was positive in the ductal cells (×40; inset, ×400). (C) The surgical specimen from Mohs micrographic surgery showed intraepidermal glandular structures, and Paget's cells—both single cells and nests (H&E, ×400).
