Challenges in treating coexisting scrotal apocrine carcinoma and gastric cancer: insights from an elderly patient: a case report and literature review.

Background: Apocrine carcinoma associated with Paget's disease is a rare malignancy that typically manifests in elderly individuals, predominantly affecting the geriatric population. It commonly arises in regions rich in apocrine glands and often exhibits an insidious onset, potentially requiring several years to be diagnosed.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old male was simultaneously diagnosed with scrotal apocrine carcinoma (showing Paget changes) and early-stage gastric cancer.
