Objective: To report a rare case of oral extramammary Paget disease in an elderly patient.

Background: Extramammary Paget disease is a rare cutaneous malignancy, and oral mucosa involvement is extremely rare.

Material and method: The patient was a 72-year-old man with a whitish plaque and areas of erosion on the right buccal mucosa.

Results: An incisional biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was extramammary Paget disease.

Conclusion: Both clinicians and pathologists should be aware of this disease to avoid misdiagnoses with other oral benign or malignant lesions.
