Abstract
INTRODUCTION Perineal extramammary paget's disease (EMPD) is characterized with high recurrence rate. Although numerous therapeutic measures for this disease have been reported so far, it is unknown whether there is significant difference in their recurrence-preventing efficiency. This study aims to compare the recurrence outcomes of reported perineal EMPD treatments. METHODS We searched public databases of for published studies concerning perineal EMPD treatments. After screening by inclusion and exclusion criteria, we extracted the data relevant to recurrence rate, and conducted network meta-analysis (NMA) by using Bayesian random-effects approach. RESULTS Our analysis included 29 previous studies (involving both male and female patients) and 11 treatment designs which are wide local excision (WLE), local excision (LE), Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), radiotherapy (RT), radical vulvectomy (RV), photodynamic therapy (PDT), lasers (LS), imiquimod, and WLE+RT, WLE+PDT, WLE+LS. Comparing with WLE, the MMS showed significant advantage in reducing recurrence [OR: 0.18 (0.03-0.87)], while none of the rest treatments has statistically significant results. After removing outlier studies, MMS still has the significant advantages [OR: 0.35 (0.11-0.82)], and LE turned to be the treatment with worst performance [OR: 13 (2.50-110)]. Covariance analysis of follow-up length, gender differences, and lesion locations indicated only short follow-up time could affect the recurrence statistics, which tend to conceal the real differences. Funnel plot demonstrated there is no significant small study effect. CONCLUSION MMS has the best performance on reducing perineal EMPD recurrence, while LE exhibits the worst capability in such regard. Recurrence-preventing abilities of other treatments have no significant difference between each other.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare entity which is more frequently localized at the vulva, though it only accounts for 1-2% of vulvar neoplasms. It is a primary cutaneous adenocarcinoma whose cell of origin is still a matter of controversy: it can either arise from apocrine/eccrine glands or from stem cells. The diagnosis demands a biopsy and entails a histopathological analysis by which cells show similar characteristics as breast Paget disease. RECENT FINDINGS Treatment approach can entail surgery, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, systemic chemotherapy, and topical chemotherapy. For metastatic disease, many different chemotherapy regimens have been explored and even targeted therapy can play an important role in this disease. Since almost 30-40% of patients overexpress HER-2, trastuzumab and anti-HER-2 therapies can be employed in this setting. Due to its low incidence, there is almost no specific evidence on therapeutic interventions for this disease. Thus, there is a neat unmet need for molecular characterization of EMPD and diagnostic tools that allow clinicians to guide treatment both in the early and in the advanced disease settings. In this review, we aim to summarize available evidence about diagnosis and treatment of EMPD, both localized and metastatic, and to provide a comprehensive analysis that may help clinicians for therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
As extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) sometimes invades and metastasizes from the skin to the mucosa, radical surgical resection of these lesions is often difficult. The purpose of this study was to analyse the association between surgical margins and survival as well as the benefit of functional preservation over complete resection, in patients with EMPD. We retrospectively analysed 230 patients diagnosed with EMPD between 1969 and 2020. Patient and treatment characteristics were recorded. Since our centre is a specialized hospital and almost all patients were referred from other hospitals, we reviewed their referral letters. Prognostic factors and survival time were also analysed. Among 230 patients, 78 (33.9%) had positive margins. The presence of margin positive lesions increased the local recurrence rate but was not significantly correlated with survival. Of all the patients who had received a thorough explanation about the surgical procedure in the referring hospital, 43.8% were scheduled for surgeries that would result in functional impairment, and all of them had function-preserving surgeries at our hospital with a 10-year survival rate of 100%. Our result suggest that less invasive surgery preserves anogenital and urethral function may be an acceptable option for EMPD treatment.

Abstract
AIM Perianal Paget's disease (PAPD) is a rare disorder with a predisposition to anal and colorectal malignancies and an unclear prognosis. Our previous 25-year series demonstrated a non-aggressive nature. This study aims to describe our updated institutional experience. METHODS This is a retrospective review of all patients diagnosed with primary PAPD from 1991 to 2021. A prospectively maintained institutional database was searched which included demographics, clinical and pathological manifestations, treatment methods, recurrence, oncological outcome and mortality. RESULTS Thirty patients were diagnosed with PAPD. Fifteen were women (50%); the average age at diagnosis was 71 ± 10.7 years, and the average lesion size was 3.7 ± 2.6 cm. At diagnosis, 12 (40%) were harbouring invasive anal adenocarcinoma. Eight (27%) developed adenocarcinomas concurrent with PAPD recurrence at a mean interval of 9 ± 4.4 years (range 1.9-14.8). The Kaplan-Meier curve estimated overall survival of 93%, 86%, 82%, 65% and 56% at 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively. Median survival was 16 years. Six (20%) had disease-related mortality. Initially, nine (30%) were treated with abdominoperineal resection (APR), 15 (50%) underwent local resection, three (10%) were treated with radiotherapy, two (7%) received only topical therapy and one (3%) chose observation. Fifteen (50%) experienced recurrence of PAPD, two after undergoing APR. Five (17%) had persistent disease until death. Only 10 (33%) did not experience PAPD recurrence, seven of whom underwent APR. The mean follow-up time was 9.2 ± 6.2 years. CONCLUSIONS Perianal Paget's disease is an aggressive entity with high rates of synchronous anal adenocarcinoma at diagnosis and development of metachronous adenocarcinoma later in life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is an intraepithelial invasion of the perianal skin and is frequently associated with underlying anorectal carcinoma. The relatively rare nature of this disease has made it difficult to develop treatment recommendations. This study aims to analyze the clinical and pathological features of perianal Paget's disease (PPD) and to explore rational treatment options and follow-up for this disease. METHODS The National Cancer Center Hospital database was searched for all cases of perianal Paget's disease diagnosed between 2006 and 2021. In the 14 patients identified, we reviewed the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of adenocarcinoma with pagetoid spread, including suspected or recurrent cases. RESULTS All 14 cases met the inclusion criteria. The median follow-up period after diagnosis was 4.5 (range, 0.1-13.0) years. Pagetoid spread before initial treatment was suspected in 12 cases (85.7%). Underlying rectal cancer was identified in 6 cases, and no primary tumor was detected in the other 6 cases. Seven patients had recurrent disease, with the median time to recurrence of 34.6 (range, 19.2-81.7) months. The time to the first relapse was 3 months, and that to the second relapse was 6 months. The overall 5-year survival rate was 90.0%. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic and radiologic evaluation, as well as immunohistologic examination, should be performed. is to differentiate PPD with and without underlying anorectal carcinoma. The time to first recurrence varies widely, and long-term and regular follow-up for more than 5 years is considered necessary for local recurrence and distant metastasis.

Abstract
Background Perianal Paget’s disease (PPD) is a rare malignancy, often associated with an underlying adenocarcinoma and a poor prognosis. Case presentation A 69-year-old female was presented with a history of perianal pruritus for 6 months and enlarged inguinal lymph nodes in the left side. Paget cells were confirmed by pathology after a wide excision of perianal skin. Radiotherapy was performed covering the bilateral inguinal lymphatic drainage area. Hepatic metastasis was found 8 months after surgery. Hepatic artery embolization (HAE) and high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy (HIFU) were performed successively. However, hepatic metastasis happened again 3 months later. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) was carried out and various means of inspection could not identify the primary tumor. In the case of rapid progression of the tumor, we gave the patient chemotherapy regimens of XELOX. After 4 cycles of chemotherapy, the tumor marker went down continuously and the hepatic metastasis stayed stable. Conclusions Hepatic metastasis from perianal Paget’s disease without identified underlying carcinoma may benefit from XELOX on the basis of adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Primary adenocarcinoma of the anorectum, compared with squamous cell carcinoma, is a rarer and more aggressive malignant neoplasm. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) has been identified as a causal agent in a variety of tumors, including those of the cervix, head and neck, and anogenital region, especially squamous cell carcinoma. However, the relationship between HPV and anorectal adenocarcinoma has not been well studied. In this article, we report an HPV-related anorectal adenocarcinoma arising in a tubulovillous adenoma in a 76 years old female who presented initially with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The carcinoma cells were positive for cytokeratin 7 and p16 by immunohistochemistry. High-risk HPV RNA in situ hybridization was positive. A follow-up examination of the anal area showed perianal plaques. Histologically, the excision of the perianal lesion showed intraepithelial infiltration by sheets and clusters of large atypical neoplastic cells. The neoplastic cells showed the same immunoprofile compared with the anorectal adenocarcinoma with p16 and high-risk HPV positivity. The findings are consistent with extramammary perianal Paget's disease secondary to anorectal adenocarcinoma. HPV-related adenocarcinoma in the anorectum is a newly recognized entity and was previously considered clinically indolent. Our case uniquely exhibits adenoma-carcinoma-perianal Paget's disease sequence, which has not been reported before. Our findings suggest that evaluation of the patient's lower genital tract for any HPV-associated lesions and long-term follow-up are required to monitor the disease progression in this type of malignancy.

Abstract
Objective: Primary extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy. The aim of this article is to analyze clinical characteristics, evidence of the prognosis, and share treatment experience of primary EMPD. Methods: We extracted 771 patients' data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program between 1973 and 2013 to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of patients with EMPD. In addition, 44 patients with primary EMPD in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed for 10 years. Results: Compared with patients younger than 65 years, patients diagnosed at 65–74 years [hazard ratio (HR), 2.453] and 75 years or older (HR, 5.750) had shorter survival. Patients with a primary site in the truncal skin (HR, 0.367) or scrotum (HR, 0.246) had better survival compared to those with a primary site in the perianal area. Compared with localized EMPD, EMPD with distant (HR, 18.821) and regional (HR, 2.180) metastases was associated with a worse prognosis. Patients who received radiotherapy had decreased survival, with an HR of 2.039. Patients with a higher N stage, M stage, and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage had a decreased prognosis (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Older age at diagnosis, primary site in the perianal area, distant metastasis, radiotherapy, and higher N stage, M stage, and AJCC stage may result in decreased survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is rare and mostly described in clinical literature as case reports or small series. METHODS We investigated the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features of PPD in a total of 13 cases retrieved from multiple academic institutions. RESULTS The median age at diagnosis was 75 (range 50-86) years. Males were predominant with a male to female ratio of 2.25:1. Four (30.8%) cases were classified as primary PPD due to lack of synchronous or metachronous underlying malignancies, while nine (69.2%) were classified as secondary PPD with concurrent invasive adenocarcinoma (n = 8) or tubular adenoma with high-grade dysplasia (n = 1). Immunohistochemically, there is no differential expression of CK7 or CK20 in Paget's cells between primary and secondary PPD; however, GCDFP-15 was only positive in primary PPD (3/3 vs. 0/6, P = 0.012), while CDX2 was only positive in secondary PPD (0/3 vs. 7/7, P = 0.008), suggesting different cell origin. All patients received local surgical resection with or without adjuvant therapy. After a median follow-up of 47 months, one patient with secondary PPD (7.7%) died of disease progression from underlying adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS PPD occurs in elderly patients with male predominance and is frequently associated with underlying malignancies. Differential expression of CDX2 and GCDFP-15 may help distinguishing primary vs. secondary PPD, which is important for management as the presence of an underlying malignancy impacts clinical course and prognosis. Surgical excision remains the major treatment strategy for PPD. Long-term follow-up is required to monitor the disease recurrence and metastasis.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare and lethal intraepithelial malignancy that remains poorly understood. No standardized guidelines or consensus statements exist with regards to the diagnostic evaluation, therapeutic approaches and follow-up management. Complete surgical excision with negative margins has been accepted as the mainstay of treatment for EMPD to decrease the risk of local recurrence and to maximize durable cure. Non-invasive therapies, such as laser therapy, photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy and topical chemotherapy have been utilized, but are best reserved for non-surgical candidates. While the debate on the surgical approach between wide local excision (WLE) and Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) continues, several studies have demonstrated the ability of WLE to be performed safely and effectively and to yield equally satisfactory outcomes with similar rates of recurrence to MMS. Patients undergoing surgical excision often require complex closures with skin grafting or local flaps to close genital defects. We aim to provide an up-to-date review of the current knowledge of EMPD. In addition to discussing the clinical presentation and prognostic outcomes, we focus and elaborate on the diagnostic approaches and treatment alternatives available. This information may serve as a primer for the urologist who may be called upon to treat this malignancy primarily or to provide wound coverage secondarily.

Abstract
Aim To determine the incidence, prognosis, and immunophenotypes (CK7, CK20, CDX2, and GCDFP-15) of primary or secondary perianal Paget's diseases (PPDs). Methods Twenty-three PPD patients were recruited, including 10 primary and 13 secondary PPDs. Immunophenotypes of PPD were analyzed. Results In 23 PPD patients, 14 (60.9%) were male and the median age was 75 years. Three (13.0%, 2 primary and 1 secondary PPDs) had recurrence and two (8.7%, both primary PPDs) had invasive PPDs. The colorectal cancers (CRCs) in secondary PPD cases were located in anorectal area for 9 patients while 4 were located in the rectum; 5, 2, 4, and 2 were in stages I, II, III, and in uncertain stage, respectively. The distant metastasis rates of CRC in the secondary PPD patients during follow-up were 40% (2/5), 0% (0/2), and 50% (2/4) for stages I, II, and III, respectively. Other synchronous or metachronous malignancies included cholangiocarcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, anorectal small-cell carcinoma, and unknown hepatic malignancy. One primary PPD patient died from the metastases of invasive Paget's disease while 3 secondary PPD patients died from the metastases of CRCs during follow-up. Immunohistochemical staining showed CK7 (7/10 and 6/13), CK20 (6/10 and 10/13), CDX2 (6/10 and 12/13), and GCDFP-15 (3/10 and 0/13) positivities in primary and secondary PPD patients, respectively. The immunophenotypes were not statistical significantly related to synchronous CRC (P = 0.402, 0.650, 0.127, and 0.068 for CK7, CK20, CDX2, and GCDFP-15, respectively). Conclusions The incidence of concurrent CRC in PPD patients is not low. An adequate survey for CRC should be considered for PPD patients at initial diagnosis. In this series of study, stage I CRC with PPD would have a higher metastatic rate, thus indicating aggressive treatment and follow-up. The CK7, CK20, CDX2, and GCDFP-15 immunostaining results for the PPD patients were not predictive of primary or secondary type.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe our surgical experience for the treatment and management of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). METHODS Our surgical approach involves excising a 2-cm margin of normal appearing skin around the EMPD-suspicious lesion. Prior to excision, the tissue is oriented and demarcated into predefined segments in coordination with a pathologist. Frozen sections are performed when necessary to guide additional excision. Xenograft or wet-to-dry dressings are applied depending on size and location of the wound while the specimen is expeditiously reviewed over the following 24-48 hours. If positive margins remain, further excision of the corresponding skin segment is performed. Delayed complex wound closure +/- split thickness skin grafting is performed once negative margins are confirmed. RESULTS Ten EMPD patients were referred to two academic centers between 2014 and 2018. Two patients had positive lymph nodes at diagnosis and underwent palliative surgery and died within 12 and 29 months. The remaining 8 patients underwent a median of 1 surgery (range 0-3) with referring providers before undergoing a median of 3 surgeries (range 2-5) at our institutions to achieve negative surgical margins and wound reconstruction (7 split thickness skin grafts, 1 secondary closure). At mean follow-up of 15 months, 1 patient recurred, required further excision, and remains disease free. CONCLUSION EMPD is a rare malignancy with poorly described treatment methodologies. Due to its multifocal distribution and asymmetric spread, obtaining negative margins can be challenging. Our systematic approach to obtaining wide margins and documenting excised skin has enabled us to achieve negative margins for this challenging malignancy.

Abstract
Background Perianal Paget's disease was first described in 1893. Since then, fewer than 300 cases have been reported in the literature. It might be associated with an underlying malignancy. Most of the patients are treated with surgical excision, which is often mutilating and of variable efficacy. In the present report, we describe the case of an 80-year-old woman with perianal Paget's disease. She was treated at our institution with radiotherapy with curative intent. The pertinent literature is reviewed, and the controversies in diagnosis and management are discussed. Conclusions Our single-case experience supports the opinion that radiotherapy is a viable treatment option with curative potential for patients with perianal Paget's disease. For the treatment of in situ disease, hypofractionated regimens to a total dose of 40–44 Gy and orthovoltage X-ray beams are recommended.

Abstract
Background Perianal Paget’s disease (pPD) is uncommon, with only about 180 cases documented in the literature. Anorectal carcinoma with pagetoid spread is even rarer. Case presentation An 81-year-old woman underwent rectal cancer extirpation with a transanal approach 17 years prior. She has since undergone two reoperations for local rectal cancer recurrence. Then, warts frequently appeared on the vulva on several occasions. Warts appeared on the vulva 1 year ago, which were diagnosed as pPD by biopsy. She underwent perineal tumor resection, and the final histological diagnosis was rectal cancer recurrence with pagetoid spread. The resected stump was positive for cancer cells, and tumor progression was rapid. She underwent additional abdominoperineal resection (Miles’ operation) with lymph node dissection. However, disease progression was rapid and she died 7 months after the Miles’ operation. Conclusions There are some case reports describing anorectal carcinoma with pagetoid spread, however, almost of all those cases were synchronous primary anorectal cancer. Here, we report the first case of metachronous recurrence rectal cancer with pagetoid spread arising 17 years after surgery.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare disease which is found in apocrine-rich locations such as anogenital region, axilla and rarely in other sites. Perianal EMPD is often reported as the involvement of perianal skin, but involvement of anal mucosa is very rare. Based on pathogenesis and association with either synchronous or metachronous malignancy, EMPD can be divided into primary and secondary types. Treatment approach for these two types of Paget's disease and their prognosis is different, thus it is important to make the distinction. Secondary type of Paget's disease is almost always described in association with invasive malignancy. While secondary Paget's disease arising in association with ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast is common, secondary EMPD associated with precursor lesion of the rectum without invasion is exceedingly rare. We report a very rare case of secondary Paget's disease of the anal canal in association with rectal tubular adenoma (precursor lesion) without malignancy.

Abstract
Background: Perianal Pa get's disease is an uncommon intraepithelial neoplasm that involves areas affluent with apocrine glands, most frequently in the female external genitalia, but may also affect the perianal region. Objective: We present the pathologic and clinical management of a case of Paget's disease involving the perianal region, in which diagnosis was delayed for 8 years. Conclusions: The importance of a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis is emphasized, which should be followed by aggressive surgical treatment with wide excision and local reconstruction.

Abstract
A peri-anal skin lesion, often eczema-like and with symptoms of pruritus, that does not resolve after classical local therapy should be biopsied. We present a case of peri-anal extramammary Paget's disease (EMDP) and associated anal adenocarcinoma. Reviewing the literature, more than 30% of patients with EMDP present a second primary tumour in their past, present or future history. In Europe, the risk of developing a new primary tumour in patients with this condition is increased compared with the standard population. In cases of peri-anal Paget's disease (PPD), specific histochemical markers allow us to differentiate between a primary and a secondary form, the secondary one is strongly associated with colorectal and anal tumours. We provide information about the most commonly suggested therapy for PPD with or without associated malignancy and about the recommended follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE Perianal Paget's disease is a rare intraepithelial adenocarcinoma of the perianal skin and the second most common localization of extramammary Paget's disease. This study was designed to evaluate long-term outcomes in patients with perianal Paget's disease. METHODS We identified patients who were treated for perianal Paget's disease between 1981 and 2013. Patient demographics, family history, associated malignancies, treatments, histopathological features, need for re-operations, and long-term outcomes were documented. RESULTS Our study cohort consisted of 15 male and 10 female patients with a median age of 67 (40-83) years. Four patients had concurrent anorectal adenocarcinoma (two anal canal, two rectal) when perianal Paget's disease was diagnosed. Index operations performed were wide local excision (14 patients), local excision (five patients), abdominoperineal resection (four patients), and radiotherapy (two patients). Five patients developed invasive carcinoma (three anal canal, one vulvar, one perianal squamous cell carcinoma) during a median follow-up time of 60 (3-299) months. Thirteen patients were re-operated. Fifteen patients had a reconstructive procedure following excision. Overall survival was similar between the patients who were treated with wide local excision and local excision regardless of surgical margin status at index excision (P = 0.75). CONCLUSIONS Since there is a risk for developing invasive carcinoma in the anal canal and perineum in patients with perianal Paget's disease, close follow-up is needed after R0 or R1 excision. Physicians should be aware of the risk of cancers associated with perianal Paget's disease and should rule out them during management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the results obtained from cases of perianal Paget's disease (PPD) and to provide a current perspective in the diagnostic evaluation and surgical management of this condition. METHODS A retrospective review of a single quaternary referral centre's experience with PPD from January 1994 to December 2013 was performed. Medical records were reviewed to collect data on demographics, preoperative investigations, complications, pathology and recurrence. A review of existing literature was also performed. RESULTS Five patients (four females, one male) with histologically confirmed PPD were identified. The median age of presentation was 72 (range 61 to 78). Three patients were recurrences following previous excisions and first presentations in two patients. Only one patient had an underlying diagnosis of cancer. The median time to diagnosis was 24 months. Four patients underwent wide local excision with skin graft and/or local flap reconstruction and one patient required an abdominoperineal excision for recurrence. Four patients had involved lateral margins despite wide local excision but follow-up to date has only revealed one local recurrence. A review of available literature suggests that synchronous cancers can occur in up to 33% of patients and that a further 10% may be associated with metachronous cancers. Surveillance recommendations seem anecdotal and do not appear to be supported by available literature. CONCLUSION PPD is a management challenge. Association with synchronous and metachronous carcinomas may not be as strong as initially thought. Surgery is the mainstay treatment with the need to balance between minimizing disease recurrence and functional sequelae from excessive tissue loss.

Abstract
Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is part of the spectrum of pagetoid skin lesions occurring outside the region of the nipple/areolar complex that are collectively referred to as extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). However, unlike Paget's disease of the breast, which in the vast majority of cases is invariably associated with an underlying ductal carcinoma, most cases of EMPD occur as either insitu or invasive adenocarcinomas with visceral malignancy being a rare entity. We present a case of a 50-year-old man who was referred to us with PPD. This case highlights the difficulties associated with making a clinical diagnosis of this condition. Furthermore, investigative workup to exclude possible malignancy with associated metastatic spread as well as the treatment options available are also discussed. In addition, this case highlights the need for a multidisciplinary team approach when dealing with this difficult problem.

Abstract
Perianal Paget's disease only rarely presents with a synchronous invasive anal or rectal cancer. The purpose of this study is to present a case of an otherwise healthy patient who developed perianal Paget's disease. He was then found to have an invasive rectal adenocarcinoma, after having undergone an extensive resection and reconstruction with a bilateral V-to-Y reconstruction. This report describes an overview of perianal Paget's disease, the management of this disease in association with anal or rectal cancer, and our patient's outcome.

Penoscrotal extramammary Paget's disease: surgical techniques and follow-up experiences with thirty patients. Asian J Androl 2013; 15:508-12. [PMID: 23685910 DOI: 10.1038/aja.2013.27] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2012] [Revised: 02/08/2013] [Accepted: 03/06/2013] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
To report the surgical management, complications and prognosis of patients with penoscrotal extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) at different clinical stages. Between 2003 and 2008, a total of 30 male patients with penoscrotal EMPD were enrolled and evaluated. All enrolled subjects received frozen biopsy-guided local wide resection and immediate reconstruction. Patients were followed every 3 months postoperatively. Among the 30 patients who accepted and underwent frozen biopsy-guided local wide resection treatment and reconstruction, two (6.7%) cases exhibited positive margins, verified by pathological examination, and underwent re-excision after surgery. The technique of primary closure or an adjacent flap was used in 10 (33.3%) cases, split-thickness skin grafts were used in 15 (50%), and an anterolateral thigh perforator flap was used in five cases (16.7%). The postoperative complications were acceptable. The mean follow-up time was 64.9 ± 29.6 months. Of all 30 cases, 22 patients (73.3%) survived with no evidence of recurrence, four patients (13.3%) exhibited local recurrence, two patients (6.7%) exhibited both local recurrence and distant metastasis and the remaining two patients (6.7%) exhibited distant metastasis. Five patients died from metastasis or cachexia. Current surgical techniques, including primary closure, adjacent flaps, split-thickness skin flaps and anterolateral thigh perforator flaps are able to reconstruct all types of defects with acceptable complications. Some patients with negative margins went on to exhibit local recurrence, potentially due to adnexal carcinoma or internal malignancy.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2012; 38:214-221.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and survival of Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) and to describe the possible increased risk of tumours after EMPD. All invasive cases diagnosed between 1990 and 2002 were selected from the RARECARE database. Incidence was expressed in European standardized rates. Relative survival was calculated for the period 1995-1999, with a follow-up until 31st December 2003. Standardized incidence ratios of second primary tumours were calculated to reveal possible increased risk after EMPD. European age standardized Incidence of EMPD within Europe is 0.6 per 1000,000 person years. Five-year relative survival for invasive EMPD was 91.2% (95%CI; 83.5-95.4), 8.6 percent of the EMPD patients developed other malignancies. The highest increased risk of developing a second primary tumour was found in the first year of follow-up (SIR:2.0 95%CI; 1.3-2.9), living in the South European region (SIR:2.3 95%CI; 1.5-3.5) or being female (SIR:1.5 95%CI; 1.1-1.9). Female genital organs displayed greatest increased risk of developing a second primary tumour after EMPD (SIR:15,1 95%CI; 0.38-84.23). Due to the increased risk of a second primary tumour after EMPD a thorough search for other tumours during their follow-up is recommended.

Abstract
Background. To examine the results of treatment of Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) in ethnic Chinese. Method. Between 1990 and 2010, patients treated for EMPD were reviewed. Data were analyzed retrospectively. Results. Forty-eight patients were treated by surgical resection. Local recurrence rate was 14.6%. The postresection defects were repaired by primary closure (8.3%), partial thickness skin graft (72.9%), or local/regional flaps (18.8%). Dermal invasion was found in 9 patients (18.8%). Seven patients (14.6%) developed regional lymph node metastasis (concurrent with surgery, n = 1; subsequent to surgery, n = 6), and 3 patients (6.3%) had systemic metastasis after surgery. The presence of dermal invasion was associated with significantly higher incidence of regional lymph nodes and systemic metastasis. The incidence of associated internal malignancy was 8.3%. Conclusion. The mainstay of treatment for EMPD is surgery. Pathological dermal invasion increases the chance of regional lymph node as well as systemic metastasis. The association with internal malignancy warrants preoperative endoscopic examination in all patients.

Abstract
The perianal skin is a common area for extra-mammary Paget's disease development. The unique clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features which this medical phenomenon demonstrates, along with its rarity and frequent association with synchronous or metachronous carcinomas, present us with a treatment challenge. In order to organize the surgical treatment, it is important to determine whether the disease is localized exclusively to the perianal skin or associated with metastasis or anorectal carcinomas. Despite several controversies concerning its optimal therapeutic management, wide local excision of the skin and subcutaneous tissue in the perianal region is generally recommended for the treatment of the non-invasive form of the disease. Such an aggressive operative management usually results in a large perianal tissue defect, which can not be primarily suppressed without resultant tension and possible complications, requiring a special technique for its coverage. Various techniques have been described in the literature for the treatment of these defects, often associated with unfavourable long term results, i.e. split-thickness skin grafts and vacuum-assisted closure devices. More recently several authors have reported favourable results using various transposition or rotation local skin flaps, myocutaneous flaps of the gluteal and thigh muscles, and V-Y island flaps to cover these areas of tissue loss. In this article we present a short review of the literature concerning perianal Paget's disease with special attention to its management and a demonstration of the operative technique we prefer on patients with perianal non-invasive Paget's disease, i.e. wide local excision with a 2 cm margin in the anal mucosa and use of U and V-Y shaped perianal fatty-cutaneous island flaps for reconstruction by covering the bilateral anal skin defects.

Abstract
Tumors of the anus and perianal skin are rare. Their presentation can vary and often mimics common benign anal pathology, thereby delaying diagnosis and appropriate and timely treatment. The anatomy of this region is complex because it represents the progressive transition from the digestive system to the skin with many different co-existing types of cells and tissues. Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal is the most frequent tumor found in the anal and perianal region. Less-frequent lesions include Bowen's and Paget's disease, basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and adenocarcinoma. This article aims to review the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment options for neoplasms of the anal canal and perianal skin.

Abstract
AIM: To analyze clinical and pathological characteristics of an aggressive subtype of perianal Paget’s disease (PPD) and explore its rational treatment modalities.
METHODS: PPD patients were retrospectively collected in the institutional colorectal database of the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Detailed patient histories of past medical condition, diagnosis, treatment, and pathological findings were reviewed. Surgical specimen from diagnosis and surgery were reviewed by two independent pathologists for confirmation of diagnoses. Follow up was accomplished by clinical interview by cellphone.
RESULTS: In total, eight cases of PPD were analyzed. All patients had underlying anorectal adenocarcinoma, including seven with synchronous lesions and one with metachronous lesions. Moreover, all anorectal lesions had a mucin-producing component. The median age at diagnosis was 65 (range 29-81 years), and the male/female ratio was 7:1. The Median follow-up time of all patients was 61.5 mo (range 10-204 mo). One patient treated with abdominoperineal resection (APR) died from lung metastases 10 mo after the APR operation. The other patients are still free of disease at the time of this analysis.
CONCLUSION: PPD is a rare malignancy and is easily misdiagnosed. Underlying anorectal cancer was not unusual and was a significant prognostic factor. Rational treatment of both anorectal cancer and PPD lesion is essential for long-term survival.

Abstract
A variety of lesions comprise tumors of the anal canal, with carcinoma in situ and epidermoid cancers being the most common. Less common anal neoplasms include adenocarcinoma, melanoma, gastrointestinal stromal cell tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, and Buschke-Lowenstein tumors. Treatment strategies are based on anatomic location and histopathology. In this article different tumors and management of each, including a brief review of local excision for rectal cancer, are discussed in turn.

Abstract
PURPOSE Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is frequently associated with adnexal or visceral synchronous or metachronous malignancies. Our purpose was to evaluate, retrospectively, the results obtained in six cases of EMPD and to review the literature. METHODS Six patients with the perianal Paget's disease had been treated in our division between March 1996 and December 2006. In three cases, the disease was confined in the epidermis; in one case, there was a microinvasion of the dermis, while in another one the dermis was infiltrated. The last case was associated to a low rectal adenocarcinoma. All patients underwent wide perianal excision and reconstruction with skin graft. We performed a transanal resection of the rectal adenocarcinoma. A review of the literature from 1990 to 2008 revealed 193 cases of perianal EMPD, 112 were intraepithelial/intradermal while 81 were associated with malignancies. Anorectal adenocarcinoma was already existing in two cases, synchronous in 48, and subsequent to diagnosis in 11. RESULTS In three cases, the disease recurred locally, but no patient developed metastatic spread. Five patients survived and are free of disease. The review of the literature allows a clear identification of the primitive EMPD and the form associated to anorectal adenocarcinoma and little information about cases associated with synchronous adnexal adenocarcinoma. The Paget's disease can relapse after radical surgery and has a capacity of metastatic spread. CONCLUSIONS Up to now, no clear guidelines have been established for the diagnosis of EMPD. The association with synchronous or metachronous carcinomas imposes a long-term follow-up with frequent clinical, radiological, and endoscopical controls.

Abstract
Classic types of anal ulcers are acute and chronic anal fissure. Characteristic symptoms of chronic fissures are severe pain during defecation accompanied by the triad of ulceration, hypertrophic anal papilla and external skin tag. If the symptoms deviate other causes of ulceration must be considered. Primarily, malignancies should be excluded. The special setting in the anal fold, especially with concurrent immunosuppression, could lead to nonspecific manifestations of different proctological, dermatological and infectious diseases, which can only be clarified by further diagnostic workup and histopathology. Only the correct diagnosis will lead to causal and effective therapy. Successfully treated inflammatory dermatoses and precancerous lesions require regular follow-up because a recurrent or persistent course of the disease may result in malignant transformation.

Abstract
Perianal Paget's disease is a rare malignancy. It is rarely isolated and often associated with an underlying adenocarcinoma. It usually presents with anal itchiness and discomfort and can be misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids. Once the diagnosis of perianal Paget's disease is granted, extensive work-up to find an underlying primary malignancy is crucial. Surgery is the standard modality of treatment of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) with recurrence rates of 44–60%. Other different treatment modalities including radiotherapy, laser therapy, topical and systemic chemotherapy and the new emerging, promising photodynamic therapy are in the field of study. A 76-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a one-year history of anal itchiness and intermittent rectal bleeding. Skin shave and punch biopsies from the perianal area were reported back as perianal Paget's disease with no underlying adenocarcinoma. The immunohistochemical stains were positive for cytokeratin 7 but also positive for cytokeratin 20 and CEA which indicated the essentiality of extensive investigations to find a primary malignancy. Skin exam showed no primary source. The investigations were unable to find the primary malignancy. Given the results of immunohistochemical stains we recommended local perianal Paget's disease resection. The intraoperative frozen section showed adenocarcinoma around the anal sphincter. Ten days later the patient underwent an abdominoperineal resection and the final pathology report showed extensive adenocarcinoma in three quadrants of the perianal area with focal involvement of the rectal mucosa. We recommended an adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX following surgery given the bulkiness of the disease. We conclude that once perianal Paget's disease is diagnosed, an extensive work-up should be done to find the underlying primary malignancy. Immunohistochemical stains are helpful in raising the suspicion of underlying primary malignancy. Finding an underlying primary malignancy in patients with EMPD is prompt to choose the treatment modality and estimate the prognosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The assessment of long- term functional and quality of life outcomes of these patients following repair of large defects after surgical excision has not been reported. METHODS Between 1992 and 2004, at two institutions, 18 patients underwent repair of a perianal defect for Paget's disease (n = 8) or Bowen's disease (n = 10) and were alive with intestinal continuity at last follow-up. Patients were mailed the fecal incontinence quality of life scale (FIQL) and the SF-36. RESULTS Fourteen patients (78%) responded. Median follow-up for responders was 5 years. Mean age was 65 years with 12 females. Subcutaneous skin flaps (11) and split-thickness skin grafts (three) were used to repair the perianal defects, which were circumferential in 11 patients (79%). Nine patients reported incontinence and completed the FIQL. The FIQL scores of patients reporting incontinence were lower for lifestyle, coping/behavior, and embarrassment but not significantly different for depression compared to patients without incontinence. SF-36 scores of the patients were not significantly different from the normative population. CONCLUSION Functional results after repair of large perianal defects are acceptable and overall quality of life (QOL) is similar to the normative population although a large proportion of patients have some form of incontinence that impacts certain aspects of their QOL.

Abstract
Malignancies of the anal margin and perianal skin are relatively uncommon lesions, comprising 3 to 4% of all anorectal malignancies. Commonly included in this group of cancers are Bowen's disease (intraepithelial squamous cell cancer), perianal Paget's disease (intraepithelial adenocarcinoma), invasive squamous cell cancer, basal cell cancer, and malignant melanoma. Buschke-Lowenstein tumor, or giant condyloma acuminatum, is not always included because this lesion is technically benign, although it displays aggressive local invasive behavior that makes it difficult to manage. Complaints are usually nonspecific, such as itching or burning, bleeding, pain, drainage, or a mass. Proper diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion on the part of the surgeon. Innocent local irritations will resolve in a short time with appropriate therapy; those that persist must be biopsied for tissue diagnosis. Wide local excision is the mainstay of treatment for early stage tumors as it preserves continence and obtains adequate local control. Adjunct therapies have been utilized in more advanced or recurrent lesions, including radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and imiquimod. All have met with a fair amount of success in controlling local disease; however, the number of patients treated in each instance is small, making it difficult to design an evidence-based treatment strategy. Invasion and metastasis are relatively rare in this group of neoplasms; perianal Paget's disease has the highest risk of associated underlying neoplasm. The most important consideration in developing a treatment strategy is which strategy would achieve the best clinical result with the least morbidity to the patient.
