Abstract
Pigmented Paget's disease of the breast is infrequent, with only a few cases reported in the literature and is suggestive of malignant melanoma or pigmented metastasis of mammary adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry is necessary, especially using CK7 staining, which is usually positive (sensitivity of almost 100%), except in some rare cases such as ours. In these difficult cases, study of a wider panel of antibodies may be necessary for diagnosis.
