Abstract
Background Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare epithelial malignancy, and approximately 30%-40% of EMPD patients overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2). Currently, there are no established standard treatments for advanced EMPD while anti-Her-2 therapy is recommended for Her-2-positive cases. Case presentation Here, we report a 51-year-old male diagnosed with advanced Her-2-positive EMPD, presenting with numerous lymph node metastases. This patient received disitamab vedotin (an antibody-drug conjugate, targeting Her-2) combined with serplulimab as first-line treatment. After seven cycles of combination therapy, the patient tolerated the treatment well and the lymph node lesions continued to shrink. However, the patient developed immunotherapy-related pneumonia following the eighth treatment. Hormone therapy was administered while all the anti-tumor therapies were halted. After the pneumonia improved, the patient underwent positron emission tomography-computed tomography, revealing a complete response to his tumor. To consolidate the effect, he received another five cycles of disitamab vedotin monotherapy as maintenance therapy, without experiencing any adverse events. To date, the patient has remained in good health without any recurrence 10 months after drug discontinuance. Conclusion Disitamab vedotin combined with immunotherapy demonstrated a long-term clinical benefit in advanced Her-2-positive EMPD. For rare solid tumors with Her-2 overexpression, disitamab vedotin combined with immunotherapy might offer a viable therapeutic choice.

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
BACKGROUND Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is rare. There are no standard treatments due to its rarity and few clinical trials. METHODS The objective of this multicenter study was to investigate treatment outcomes of Korean patients with advanced/metastatic EMPD. Data were collected retrospectively from 14 institutions participating in Korean Cancer Study Group (KCSG) Rare Cancer Committee. RESULTS A total of 37 patients were identified. Of these 37 patients, 6 received locoregional therapy as a first-line treatment. In 31 patients who received systemic chemotherapy as a first-line treatment, platinum-based chemotherapy (n = 22) achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 45.5% and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 7.89 months. Taxane-based chemotherapy (n = 8) achieved an objective response rate of 62.5% and median PFS of 9.73 months. In second-line chemotherapy, platinum-based chemotherapy (n = 4) had a disease control rate (DCR) of 75.0% and median PFS of 3.45 months. Taxane-based chemotherapy (n = 8) had a DCR of 75.0% and a median PFS of 8.67 months. Six patients received anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) antibody during first- and second-line chemotherapy. Overall, systemic chemotherapy combined with anti-HER2 antibody had an ORR of 100% and a median PFS of 13.31 months. The ORR and PFS with systemic chemotherapy combined with trastuzumab was better than platinum- and taxane-based chemotherapy only. CONCLUSIONS Due to its rarity, advanced or metastatic EMPD still has no established standard treatment. Results of our study indicate that the combination of trastuzumab with taxane has longer survival than trastuzumab monotherapy or conventional platinum- or taxane-based chemotherapy.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15061803. [PMID: 36980691 PMCID: PMC10046936 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15061803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Vulvar Paget’s disease (VPD) is a rare form of cutaneous adenocarcinoma of the vulva, which accounts for about 1–2% of all vulvar neoplasms and mainly affects post-menopausal women. The clinical presentation is usually non-specific and mimics chronic erythematous skin lesions; therefore, the diagnosis is often difficult and delayed. Although VPD is typically diagnosed at a locally advanced stage and has a high recurrence rate, the prognosis is overall favorable with a 5-year survival of nearly 90%. Due to the limited and poor-quality evidence, there is no global consensus on optimal management. Therefore, we performed a systematic review of the literature through the main electronic databases to deepen the current knowledge of this rare disease and discuss the available treatment strategies. Wide surgical excision is recommended as the standard-of-care treatment and should be tailored to the tumor position/extension and the patient’s performance status. The goal is to completely remove the tumor and achieve clear margins, thus reducing the rate of local recurrences. Non-surgical treatments, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and topical approaches, can be considered, especially in the case of unresectable and recurrent disease. In the absence of clear recommendations, the decision-making process should be individualized, also considering the new emerging molecular targets, such as HER2 and PD-L1, which might pave the way for future targeted therapies. The current review aims to raise awareness of this rare disease and encourage international collaboration to collect larger-scale, high-quality evidence and standardize treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy that can be easily confused with other diseases due to its diverse clinical manifestations, delaying the timing of treatment. Therefore, early diagnosis is extremely important. It has been reported that dermoscopy can be used to evaluate superficial skin tumors. OBJECTIVE To investigate the dermoscopic characteristics of EMPD diagnosed by histopathology and to develop a decision tree model that can provide clinicians with a reference to facilitate early diagnosis. METHODS All patients were evaluated by dermoscopic and histopathologic examinations. Dermoscopic images were assessed, and a decision tree model was constructed using SPSS (version 25.0). RESULTS A total of 49 patients were included in this study. We found that EMPD was most likely to be misdiagnosed when the disease duration was less than 2.5 years. Porcelain-white patches were the only key clinical feature other varying dermoscopic features could not be differentiated from those of EMPD-mimicking diseases. Polymorphic vessels were considered to be significant when the duration of the disease ranged from 0.1 year to 2.5 years. However, when the duration was >2.5 years, present (or absent) glomerular vessels were all considered EMPD. CONCLUSIONS Dermoscopy can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool for the diagnosis and management of EMPD. The decision tree can guide clinical diagnosis further validation studies are necessary due to the limited number of cases.

Abstract
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a useful prognostic biomarker for many cancer types. However, the prognostic value of NLR in patients with extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether NLR is associated with overall survival (OS) in patients with EMPD. In this single-center retrospective case series, we analyzed data of 109 patients with previously untreated EMPD who presented to our hospital. Data on age, sex, primary tumor site, invasion level, presence of lymph node and distant metastases, baseline NLR, and OS were analyzed. The enrolled patients were classified into the metastatic or non-metastatic EMPD groups. The metastatic EMPD group had higher invasion level and NLR value (p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively) compared with the non-metastatic EMPD group. Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed invasion level (p = 0.0093) and NLR value (p = 0.019) to be independent prognostic factors for OS. Notably, multivariate analysis revealed that invasion level (p = 0.045) and NLR value (p = 0.036) were independent prognostic factors for OS in the metastatic EMPD group. The limitations of this study include the small number of participants and its retrospective nature. In conclusion, since NLR can be routinely assessed with high feasibility, it might be a useful biomarker for predicting prognosis in patients with EMPD.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm with distant metastases and a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 63-year-old male patient exhibiting stage IV primary EMPD with neuroendocrine differentiation, and harboring a somatic mutation in AMER1. After four cycles of Anlotinib combined with Tislelizumab, the patient achieved partial response for the metastatic lesions according to mRECIST1.1 criteria. Total positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) scans revealed a significant reduction in SUV from 18.9 to 5.3, and the serum CEA decreased to normal levels after the treatment regimen. However, the patient developed fractures of the fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae during the treatment. Therefore, percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed, and the patient experienced severe postoperative pneumonia and died from pulmonary encephalopathy and respiratory failure in June 2021. The overall and progression-free survival of the patient after diagnosis were 9 and 8 months, respectively. During the systemic treatment, the patient suffered grade 1 rash in the back and thigh and grade 1 hypertension. Nevertheless, the combination treatment of anlotinib and tislelizumab had a favorable clinical outcome and provided a survival advantage, and should be considered a therapeutic option for patients with AMER1-mutant metastatic EMPD.

Abstract
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy is a fatal disease secondary to some malignant tumors, such as gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. A 61-year-old man presented to our clinic with a red plaque with erosion on his scrotum and was diagnosed with extramammary Paget's disease. Seven years after the initial diagnosis, multiple bone metastases were discovered, and he was started on oral administration of tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil. Two years after beginning the oral drug administration, the patient complained of dyspnea. A chest CT scan showed ground-glass opacity. Pulmonary artery blood cytology revealed carcinoma cells. He was diagnosed with pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy. At 9 days after the diagnosis, he died of circulatory and respiratory failure. The autopsy revealed microscopic metastatic tumor emboli in multiple pulmonary vessels with fibrin thrombus, which confirmed the earlier cytologic diagnosis. Observations in our case were consistent with the typical pattern of this pathology in the lung with multiple metastases. Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy with a primary disease of cutaneous malignancy is extremely rare. Here, we report a rare case of pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy secondary to extramammary Paget's disease with a literature review.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare neoplasm that usually develops in apocrine gland-bearing areas, such as the vulva, scrotum, and penis. EMPD may present with a focal, multifocal, or an ectopic lesion. Clinically, EMPD lesions often exhibit infiltrative erythema, which is sometimes similar to other skin disorders such as eczema. While primary EMPD arises as intraepithelial neoplasm of the epidermis, EMPD-like lesions may occur from epidermotropic spread of malignant cells or direct extension from an underlying internal neoplasm, known as secondary EMPD. Because treatment strategies differ for primary EMPD and secondary EMPD, accurate diagnosis based on detailed histopathological evaluation is required. In the early stages, EMPD usually shows indolent growth, and most cases are diagnosed as carcinoma in situ. However, invasive lesions may result in metastases, and deep invasion is associated with high incidence of metastases. Conventional chemotherapies have been used for EMPD treatment in patients with distant metastases, but the efficacy is not satisfactory, and the prognosis for such patients remains poor. Recent studies have provided various insights into the molecular pathogenesis of the development and advancement of EMPD, which may lead to novel treatment approaches for metastatic EMPD. This review addresses the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of EMPD with focus on recent progress in understanding this disease.

Choi S, Oh Y, Roh MR, Chung KY, Oh BH. Initial topical monotherapy may increase the risk of recurrence in patients with extramammary Paget's disease. J Dermatol 2021; 48:585-591. [PMID: 33666282 DOI: 10.1111/1346-8138.15794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2020] [Revised: 01/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Although topical therapies are used to treat extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD), reliable treatment outcomes and the effects of these therapies on subsequent surgical treatments are unclear. To assess the clinical outcomes of topical treatment of EMPD and establish the treatment guidelines the medical records of 166 patients diagnosed with EMPD were retrospectively reviewed. The recurrence rate was evaluated according to the previous use of topical agents. Thirty-four patients (34/166, 20.5%) were initially treated with topical agents such as imiquimod, 5-fluorouracil, and ingenol mebutate. Three patients (3/34, 8.8%) showed clinical response, while 31 patients required subsequent therapy owing to treatment failure. Analysis of the prognostic factors of recurrence in 166 patients revealed that initial topical treatment increased the hazard ratio (HR) in both univariate and multiple Cox proportional hazards models (HR = 3.770, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.768-8.037, P = 0.001, and adjusted HR = 3.628, 95% CI = 1.558-8.450, P = 0.003). Patients treated with topical agents showed significantly poorer 3-year recurrence-free survival than the nontreated group (66.3% vs 88.6%, P < 0.001). Topical treatment may be deleterious for some EMPD patients, thus increasing the recurrence risk.

Combined serum carcinoembryonic antigen and cytokeratin 19 fragment levels provide a sensitive biomarker for lymph node metastasis in extramammary Paget's disease. J Dermatol 2020; 47:763-769. [PMID: 32415799 DOI: 10.1111/1346-8138.15392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2019] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Most cases of extramammary Paget's disease are diagnosed at an early stage. For advanced cases, few effective treatments are available and the prognosis is poor. Therefore, developing sensitive biomarkers for metastatic cases is a critical challenge. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA) are two potentially useful biomarkers. In the present retrospective large-scale study, we identified other potential biomarkers of lymph node metastasis. Patients with extramammary Paget's disease who visited our dermatology clinic between April 2004 and March 2019 (n = 138; mean age, 73.4 years; 85 men and 53 women) were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into three groups according to the presence of regional lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis to evaluate the relationship between metastasis and various tumor markers: serum CEA, carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9, CA125, CA15-3 and CYFRA. For distal metastasis, each biomarker had high sensitivity and specificity. The sensitivities and specificities for regional lymph node metastasis were as follows: CEA, 50.0% and 88.6%; CA19-9, 50% and 89.5%; CA125, 0% and 98.2%; CA15-3, 0% and 96.0%; and CYFRA, 66.7% and 95.0%, respectively. We also analyzed biomarker combinations. The sensitivity and specificity of the combination of all five biomarkers (CEA, CA19-9, CA125, CA15-3 and CYFRA) were 83.3% and 70.9%, respectively. The sensitivity of the combination of just CEA and CYFRA was also 83.3%. Screening for combinations of these biomarkers will facilitate the detection of early lymph node metastasis in patients with extramammary Paget's disease.

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 disease is a rare neoplastic condition that more commonly affects postmenopausal Caucasian women. Although the vulvar area is the most frequently affected location, it corresponds solely to 1 to 2% of all vulvar malignancies. A 72-year-old female patient was observed in our outpatient clinic with a 2-year history of an erythematous and pruritic plaque on the vulva. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies were compatible with extramammary Paget disease of the vulva. Associated neoplastic conditions were excluded. Due to multiple relapses, the patient was submitted to three surgical interventions, including a total vulvectomy, and to external radiotherapy. The present case illustrates the chronic and recurrent nature of extramammary Paget disease despite aggressive procedures as well as the challenge in obtaining tumor-free resection margins.
