This is characterized by spiral-shaped foci of epithelial proliferation with decapitation secretion and central masses of necrotic debris. A possible connection between the solid neoplasm and the overlying Paget disease is illustrated by a few apocrine-follicular units colonized by both the Paget cells and the structured adenocarcinoma. Here, although they display the sam…
