Paget’s disease of the breast is an eczematous skin disease that is usually associated with an underlying breast cancer. Male breast cancer accounts for only 1-3% of all breast malignancies. Paget’s disease in men is a very rare condition of the male breast. There have been only nine reported cases of Paget’s disease of the male breast between 1980 and 2015. We described a breast invasive carcinoma of a 72-year-old man who was previously diagnosed with Paget’s disease.
