    RationalPerianal Paget's disease (PPD) is a very rare intraepithelial adenocarcinoma. Very few cases of PPD have been reported till date, so the treatment remains controversial and more experience is needed.Patient ConcernsA 73-year-old female was admitted to several hospitals with diagnosed as "perianal eczema" in perianal lesion. After a variety of treatments, the patient's condition did not improve.DiagnosesAbdominopelvic computed tomography and rectal magnetic resonance imaging showed thickening of the soft tissue around the anus, with significant enhancement.
