Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare form of adenocarcinoma usually found in apocrine gland-containing cutaneous regions. EMPD affects the vulvar area most commonly, followed by the perianal area, scrotum, penis, and axillary region. In its initial form, EMPD presents as an erythematous plaque with well-defined edges, fine scaling, excoriations, exulcerations, and lichenification. Generally, a definitive diagnosis can be made through histopathological analysis. Importantly, associated malignancies should be investigated prior to treatment initiation. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a modern, noninvasive treatment strategy for non-oncological diseases as well as various cancers. In recent years, PDT has been widely used to treat EMPD. This present article presents a discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of EMPD as well as the usefulness of PDT in its management.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an uncommon slow-growing skin adenocarcinoma originating in the anogenital region and axilla outside the mammary glands, often in regions with apocrine glands. The most common location is the vulva, followed by perineal, perianal, scrotal and penile skin. Here, we report a case of a 63-year-old male with EMPD in the perianal region. He reported 4 years of pain associated with an increasing region of skin irritation and bleeding on defecation that did not improve with topical agents. A biopsy sample revealed poorly differentiated carcinoma consistent with adenocarcinoma and associated with Paget disease. Workup was done. The patient tolerated local excision of the region well with no complications. A rare disease, EMPT, is challenging to diagnose and manage. Histopathological findings can, however, differentiate it from a wide array of similar skin conditions. Thorough investigations should be undertaken before initiating treatment to ensure the best outcomes.

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 classical Paget's disease of the nipple is histologically characterized by tumor cell infiltration originating in intraductal or invasive breast carcinoma, immunohistologically by a frequent overexpression of HER2 and clinically by eczema-like changes of the nipple and areola. Variants with different histological, immunohistological, and clinical features are observed in nonclassical forms of Paget's disease, such as isolated Paget's disease of the nipple, anaplastic Paget's disease, Paget's disease with invasion, and pigmented Paget's disease of the nipple. In the differential diagnosis of Paget's disease, benign changes have to be considered, including Toker cell hyperplasia, nipple eczema, and rare dermatoses.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) often involves apocrine gland-bearing locations including vulva and perianal area. EMPD of the scrotum is rare. Twenty patients were identified from the pathology files of 4 institutions between 2000 and 2018. Patients were 63- to 87-year-old (mean: 73 y) with a history of symptoms of between 4 months and 10 years. Two patients had a history of prostate cancer. Follow-up was available in 11 patients for a median of 71 months (range: 8 to 126 mo). Nine of 11 patients (82%) had positive margins, and 73% required reexcisions. 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. 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. PSA was positive in 1 patient who had a history of prostate cancer, whereas other prostate markers (NKX3.1 and prostein) were negative, and CK7 and GCDFP15 were positive, rendering primary EMPD diagnosis. Twelve other cases were negative for PSA and NKX3.1. In conclusion, EMPD of the scrotum has an insidious onset and its nonspecific symptoms can be misdiagnosed as dermatitis or fungal infection. Although localized EMPD has a favorable prognosis, the invasive disease is rare and did not predict metastasis or progression. Margins are frequently positive requiring reexcision. Occasionally, cases can be positive for PSA leading to diagnostic pitfalls.

Abstract
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is an important diagnostic tool in histopathology. Dermatopathology is a rapidly developing subspecialty of histopathology. Although IHC is not widely used in routine dermatopathology practice, its application is gradually increasing. IHC is used to differentiate two conditions with similar morphology, to confirm a diagnosis as well as to assess prognosis. It is more commonly used for neoplastic conditions like melanocytic, hematolymphoid, and spindle cell tumors, although uses can be very wide. Although IHC can aid in diagnosis, sometimes interpretation can be difficult as there may be overlapping findings. Thus, IHC should not be interpreted in isolation and should be done in the context of clinical and histological findings. In this review, we have discussed the uses of various immunohistochemical markers in dermatopathology in the light of current literature and their clinical relevance.

Abstract
Background GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) has been identified as a sensitive marker for breast carcinoma but its sensitivity in primary genital extramammary Paget diseases (EMPDs) has not been well studied. Methods Here we investigated immunohistochemical expression of GATA3 in 72 primary genital EMPDs (35 from female, 37 from male; 45 with intraepithelial disease only, 26 with both intraepithelial disease and invasive adenocarcinoma including 14 also metastasis, 1 with metastatic adenocarcinoma only for study). We also compared GATA3 to gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (GCDFP15) for their sensitivity. Results Positive GATA3 staining was seen in all 71 (100%) intraepithelial diseases, 25/26 (96%; female 10/10, male 15/16) invasive adenocarcinomas and 14/15 (93%; female 3/3, male 11/12) metastatic adenocarcinomas, respectively. Positive GCDFP15 staining was seen in 46/71 (65%; female 28/34 or 82%, male 18/37 or 49%) intraepithelial diseases, 20/26 (77%; female 9/10, male 11/16) invasive adenocarcinomas, and 12/15 (80%; female 2/3, male 10/12) metastatic adenocarcinomas, respectively (GATA3 versus GCDFP15: p < 0.01 for both intraepithelial disease and invasive adenocarcinoma, p = 0.28 for metastatic adenocarcinoma). In positive-stained cases, GATA3 stained more tumor cells than GCDFP15 (79% versus 25% for intraepithelial disease, 71% vs 34% for invasive adenocarcinoma, 73% vs 50% for metastatic adenocarcinoma, p < 0.01 for all 3 components). Conclusions Our findings indicate that GATA3 is a very sensitive marker for primary genital EMPDs and is more sensitive than GCDFP15.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare malignant disorder of the skin, which was described in as early as the nineteenth century. EMPD usually occurs as a single lesion in the apocrine sweat gland-bearing skin with abundant hair follicles. Here, we present an elderly man who suffered from a non-resolving chronic genital pruritus for 8 months. Initially, he was managed for recurrent fungal infection and eczema. Later, a diagnosis of the rare condition multiple primary EMPD was made based on the histopathology findings and appropriate treatment was given.

Abstract
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is an important adjunct in the diagnosis of neoplastic skin diseases. In addition to the many established IHC markers currently in use, new markers continue to emerge, although their general acceptance and routine application requires robust validation. Here, we summarize the most well-established and commonly used biomarkers along with an array of newer ones reported in the past several decades that either demonstrate or hold high clinical promise in the field of cutaneous pathology. We also highlight recent applications of novel IHC markers in melanoma diagnosis including genetic mutation status markers [e.g. BRAF (v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B) and NRAS (neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog)] and an epigenetic alteration marker (e.g. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine). We specifically focus on the role of IHC in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions that fall under the following categories: melanoma, epidermal tumors with an intraepidermal epitheliomatous pattern, spindle cell lesions of the dermis, small round blue cell tumors of the dermis, and cutaneous adnexal tumors. While IHC is a valuable tool in diagnostic dermatopathology, marker selection and interpretation must be highly informed by clinical context and the histologic differential diagnosis. With rapid progress in our understanding of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of tumorigenesis, new IHC markers will continue to emerge in the field of diagnostic dermatopathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pigmented mammary Paget disease (PMPD) is a rare disease that may mimic cutaneous melanoma both in clinical presentation and on histology. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to discuss the clinical and histologic similarities between PMPD and cutaneous melanoma and how to differentiate between the two diseases. METHODS We describe an African-American patient with PMPD who was thought to have cutaneous melanoma on presentation. We describe the similarities of PMPD to cutaneous melanoma both clinically and on histology and discuss the methods of differentiation. RESULTS Clinical examination revealed a large pigmented patch of the left breast that appeared asymmetrical with irregular borders with a highly variable color pattern throughout. Histologic evaluation showed characteristics shared between PMPD and cutaneous melanoma. Immunohistochemical staining was needed for differentiation. CONCLUSION PMPD is a rare disease and is similar in clinical presentation and on histology to cutaneous melanoma. Immunohistochemical staining must be used to differentiate between the two diseases.

Abstract
Pigmented extramammary Paget's disease (PEMPD) is an uncommon intraepithelial adenocarcinoma and a rare variant of Paget's disease affecting skin that is rich in apocrine sweat glands such as the axilla, perianal region and vulva. It most commonly occurs in postmenopausal women and presents as a superficial pigmented scaly macule, mimicking a melanocytic lesion. The histological presentation is adenocarcinoma in situ with an increased number of melanocytes scattered between the Paget's cells. Therefore, PEMPD may be misdiagnosed as a melanocytic tumour both clinically and histologically. The tumour cells are usually positive for cytokeratin 7, epithelial membrane antigen, Cam 5.2, HER2, and mucicarmine stain while S100 and human melanoma black-45 highlight the processes of reactive dendritic cells. The association between Paget's cells and intratumoural reactive melanocytes is still unclear. We report our first case of PEMPD associated with an intradermal naevus involving the axilla in a 63-year-old woman.

Abstract
On histopathologic examination, many non-neoplastic conditions mimic benign or malignant neoplasms. Alternatively, some benign and malignant neoplasms can also mimic non-neoplastic lesions. This is true of all organ systemsskin is no exception. Examples of these mimickers can be found in skin lesions of almost all tissue types, including those that are melanocytic, lymphoid, epithelial, neural, vascular, neuroendocrine, and fibrohistiocytic. Melanocytic neoplasms are particularly important as it's challenging to differentiate them as being benign or malignant, and it's difficult to tell them apart from non-melanocytic neoplasms. This review illustrates examples of non-melanocytic lesions that disguise themselves as melanocytic.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget disease is a rare malignant neoplasm. With regard to the pathogenesis, two prognostically different forms can be distinguished. The primary form of extramammary Paget disease is an in situ carcinoma of the apocrine gland ducts. In contrast, the secondary form is characterized by an intraepithelial spread due to an underlying carcinoma of the skin or other organ systems. Extramammary Paget disease occurs in older patients. The predilection sites include the entire anogenital skin and less often the axillary region. We present five different patients with this disease, thereby demonstrating its variation in clinical morphology. The lesion usually presents as an erythematous sharply defined spot. The polygonal borders, caused by the centrifugal growth of the tumor, may provide a diagnostic clue. The treatment of choice for extramammary Paget disease remains Mohs' microscopic surgery. However, radiotherapy or topical applications may be alternative treatment options in selected cases. In patients with the secondary form of extramam-mary Paget disease, treatment of the primary tumor is the main approach.

Abstract
Long considered to be ectopic breast tissue representing the caudal remnants of the milk ridges, anogenital mammary-like glands are nowadays thought to represent a normal constituent of the anogenital area. Lesions involving these glands, benign or malignant, epithelial or stromal manifest a striking similarity to their mammary counterparts. This review addresses the recent literature on lesions of anogenital mammary-like glands and our personal experience with various lesions related to these structures. Discussed are the normal anatomy and histology of these glands as well as the clinical presentation, histopathological and immunohistochemical features, molecular biological aspects, and differential diagnosis of various lesions involving anogenital mammary-like glands, including lactating adenoma, hidradenoma papilliferum, hidradenocarcinoma papilliferum, fibroadenomas, phyllodes tumor, pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, extramammary Paget disease, and other carcinomas. In addition, "nonspecific" epithelial or stromal changes some of which can be likened to similar changes occurring in a range of benign breast disease, including sclerosing adenosis, columnar cell lesions, ductal lesions and various metaplastic changes affecting epithelium and myoepithelium are discussed. Although lesions of anogenital mammary-like glands are often discussed in many dermatopathology textbooks in the context of cutaneous adnexal neoplasms we advocate that the best approach to the diagnosis of these lesions is to relate them to analogous well recognized lesions occurring in the breast, that is, through the eyes of a breast pathologist. This will enable their recognition, precise classification and should introduce greater uniformity in how they are reported in the literature so that more meaningful clinicopathological comparisons and correlations may be made.
