Presentation
CK7(-) Top Differential Diagnoses • Squamous cell carcinoma in situ • Melanoma in situ • Clear cell papulosis • Benign mucinous metaplasia of penis • Pagetoid dyskeratosis • Pagetoid reticulosis • Melanoma in situ Clinical Appearance of EMPD This case presented [basicmedicalkey.com]
Patients commonly present with hyper- or hypopigmented pruritic patches or plaques with a non-specific clinical appearance, thus leading to a significant delay between initial presentation and diagnosis. [jcasonline.com]
It is exceedingly rare for EMPD to present on the face, chest, or abdomen, and even more unusual for it to present as a pigmented lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Pain
To our knowledge, there are no prior reports of a metastatic extramammary Paget disease presenting as a painful pathologic vertebral body compression fracture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These therapies involve exercises and techniques that can help reduce pain, improve movement and make everyday tasks easier. [nhs.uk]
- Lymphadenopathy
Based on this clinical observation, multiple lymphadenopathy may represent an initial sign of EMPD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
No patient had inguinal lymphadenopathy. Two patients were alive with disease. Immunohistochemically, GATA3 and GCDFP15 were expressed in 6/6 cases, CK7 in 8/8 cases, and androgen receptor in 13/13 cases. HER2 was positive in 5/12 cases. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
The remaining 2 cases were metastatic Paget at diagnosis, one with extensive pelvic and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and osseous involvement, the other with right inguinal lymphadenopathy at diagnosis. [pagepress.org]
While admitted to the hospital, the patient underwent excision of primary site with a sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) of the left inguinal lymphadenopathy. [e-ijd.org]
One patient had metastatic lymphadenopathy at the groin and simultaneous lymph node dissection was performed. Primary closure of the cutaneous defect was achieved only in 8.3% of the operations. [hindawi.com]
- Surgical Procedure
Paget’s Disease of the Vulva is best treated using surgical procedures. In most cases, a wide surgical excision and removal of the entire tumor is the preferred treatment option. [dovemed.com]
There were no significant differences among the three surgical procedures with respect to the cosmetic results. [kiss.kstudy.com]
The edges of the growth can be really hard to see, so a special surgical procedure, Mohs microscopic surgery, may be used to help find the edges of the tumour. [allthingsvagina.com]
Many patients undergo multiple surgical procedures, including wide local excision, simple vulvectomy or radical vulvectomy. [doi.org]

During operation the skin lesion was observed to have extended to the anal canal and the rectum. Histopatholagical exarninatian showed the same kind of carcinoma cells, i.e.,Paget's cells in the anal canal tumor as well as the skin lesion. [pifukezazhi.com]

Published: 03/09/2012 Authors: van der Schoot JHF and Roumen RM A 72-year-old man presented with a solitary eczematous perianal lesion causing a painful pruritus. A biopsy showed an in situ adenocarcinoma with typical Paget’s cells. [bjs.co.uk]
Vulvar localization remains by far the most common localization. 6 patients, all females, had pruritus (vulvar); 2 (22%) felt pain from the lesions. [alliedacademies.org]
- Hyperpigmentation
A week after the completion of radiation therapy, the patient’s skin exhibited minimal erythema with surrounding hyperpigmentation to the affected inguinal skin, suggesting clearance of the disease. [cureus.com]
While these lesions appear as red patches and plaques in fair-skinned persons, in darker-skinned individuals, hyperpigmentation may be prominent. Cohen JM et al. Risk stratification in extramammary Paget disease. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
For this reason further studies are necessary to clarify the mechanism of hyperpigmentation and the relationship between reactive dendritic melanocytes, naevus cells, melanophages, and Paget's cells in PEMPD. References 1. Lloyd J, Flanagan AM. [jpatholtm.org]
Lesions occasionally show hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation. Long-standing lesions may be modified by repeated trauma/excoriation or superimposed infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
- Genital Lesions
The genital lesion exhibited a moderate acanthosis of the epidermis filled with Paget’s cell nests (Fig. 2 a). In both the axillary lesions and the umbilical one, Paget’s cells were located in the thin epidermis (Figs 2 b–d). [medicaljournals.se]

- Confusion
Histological diagnostic confusion can arise between Paget's disease and other neoplastic conditions affecting the skin, with the most common differential diagnoses being malignant melanoma and atypical squamous disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Aggregates of atypical lymphocytes (Pautrier microabscesses) may be seen, which can be confused with glandular clusters. [jcp.bmj.com]
EMPD can occur in both benign or malignant form and is often confused with chronic dermatitis. [aboutcancer.com]

The diagnosis is based on clinical and histopathological findings and extensive workup to rule out an underlying primary carcinoma is crucial. Surgical excision is the gold standard. [omicsonline.org]
Therefore, a DM workup should be undertaken for GGA-affected patients who are over 40 years of age. [kiss.kstudy.com]

Treatment
• Complete surgical excision is treatment of choice for primary EMPD Patients require long-term follow-up because of multifocal nature of condition and high recurrence rate • Treatment in secondary lesions will depend on associated carcinoma Only gold [basicmedicalkey.com]
Surgical excision is basically performed as a treatment for EMPD. However, therapeutic options for EMPD in an advanced stage are limited. [karger.com]
Of the 27 published cases that describe imiquimod treatment of EMPD, 6 report treatment failure (22%), but factors that may contribute to treatment failure are not well understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis for affected patients is generally favourable; however, the risk of secondary malignancies is unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgical excision currently is first line therapy and the prognosis is often favorable. Recent advances within the field have examined the expression of chemokine receptors within tumors, which may be applicable in determining prognosis. [escholarship.org]
Patients generally have a very good prognosis depending on the extent of the malignancy. [aocd.org]
Etiology

Three patients had a focal dermal invasion, 1 of whom reportedly died of another etiology 25 months post diagnosis and 2 were disease-free at 24 and 68 months. No patient had inguinal lymphadenopathy. Two patients were alive with disease. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
The etiology of the disease is still unclear. We aimed to study the expression differences of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in EMPD tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
In triple or quadruple extra-mammary Paget’s disease, the racial and gender differences in incidence, the pathophysiology underlying simultaneous distant occurrence of three or four lesions, and their malignant potentials are the matters to be elucidated [medicaljournals.se]
Clinical examination should determine the presence of periurethral and perianal lesions.[14] In these cases an involvement of the skin by a noncutaneous internal neoplasm may occur.[14] Pathophysiology[edit] H&E stained micrograph of Extramammary Paget's [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
Awareness of these structures in vulvectomy specimens for EMPD is important to prevent misinterpretation of the syringoma-like lesions as an invasive component of the EMPD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
