Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extramammary Paget's disease of the scrotum and penis is a relatively rare cutaneous malignant tumor. At present, its pathogenesis, and clinical and pathological characteristics are not very clear. This is controversial regarding surgical margin width to decrease the high recurrence rate. This paper aimed to report the case and review the literature of extramammary Paget's disease of scrotum and penis. CASE PRESENTATION We presented the case of a 74-year-old male patient with the patchy erythema and pruritus in the perineum who was admitted to our department. Biopsy of the large plaque revealed Paget disease. Under the condition of ensuring negative surgical margins by rapid frozen pathology, a wide local excision of the lesion, bilateral orchiectomy, and adnexectomy were performed on the patient. Pathology revealed that many scattered vacuolated Paget cells were observed in the epidermal layer, and the diagnosis was Paget's disease of the scrotum and penis. The 2 cm outside the skin lesion was used as the initial surgical margin, and free skin flap transplantation was used to repair the surgical wound. The patient recovered well and was discharged 1 week after surgery. CONCLUSION Currently, histopathologic biopsy is the most important diagnostic method for EMPD. Once confirmed, for patients eligible for surgical intervention, wide local excision of the lesion and rapid intraoperative frozen pathological examination should be performed as soon as possible. The skin flap transplantation is the first choice for the repair of large-scale wound after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence regarding long-term therapeutic outcomes and disease-specific survival (DSS) in Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is limited. OBJECTIVES To assess the DSS and outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical therapeutic modalities in a large cohort of EMPD patients. METHODS Retrospective chart review of EMPD patients from 20 Spanish tertiary care hospitals. RESULTS Data on 249 patients with a median follow-up of 60 months were analyzed. The estimated 5-, 10-, and 15-year DSS was 95.9%, 92.9%, and 88.5%, respectively. A significantly lower DSS was observed in patients showing deep dermal invasion (≥1 mm) or metastatic disease (P < .05). A ≥50% reduction in EMPD lesion size was achieved in 100% and 75.3% of patients treated with surgery and topical therapies, respectively. Tumor-free resection margins were obtained in 42.4% of the patients after wide local excision (WLE). The 5-year recurrence-free survival after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), WLE with tumor-free margins, WLE with positive margins, radiotherapy, and topical treatments was 63.0%, 51.4%, 20.4%, 30.1%, and 20.8%, respectively. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS EMPD is usually a chronic condition with favorable prognosis. MMS represents the therapeutic alternative with the greatest efficacy for the disease. Recurrence rates in patients with positive margins after WLE are similar to the ones observed in patients treated with topical agents.

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a malignant neoplasm demonstrating sebocytic differentiation, commonly in the periocular area. Sebocytic differentiation is recognized by multivesicular cytoplasmic clearing with frequent nuclear scalloping. The vesicles can be highlighted by immunohistochemical stains against the perilipin family proteins including adipophilin. Extraocular SC is uncommon but well reported, often in the setting of Muir-Torre syndrome; however, vulvar SC is exceptionally rare. The literature review yielded only 12 prior cases of vulvar SC, all of which showed invasion. Here we report 2 additional similar cases from 2 different institutions of an intraepithelial carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation. Histologic examination of multiple specimens from both patients showed similar features: a multifocal intraepithelial basaloid nodular neoplasm sparing the basal layer with occasional pagetoid spread. The tumor cells demonstrated a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, mitoses, variably foamy vacuolated cytoplasm, and nuclear indentation. Multiple specimens from both patients showed evidence of sebaceous differentiation (substantiated by adipophilin positivity in a membranous vesicular pattern in case 1 and by androgen receptor and epithelial membrane antigen positivity in case 2), and squamous differentiation (substantiated by p63/p40 and weak CK 5/6 expression), as well as human papillomavirus (HPV) association (substantiated by p16 block positivity and detection of high-risk HPV by in situ hybridization). One case was a true in situ lesion without evidence of invasion, and the other case was predominantly an in situ carcinoma with prominent adnexal extension and focal superficial invasion of <1 mm seen in one of multiple specimens. To our knowledge, these 2 cases are the first to show a vulvar SC/carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation that is predominantly limited to the epidermis, and the first documentation of HPV infection in vulvar sebaceous neoplasms. Vulvar intraepithelial carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation is the umbrella term we chose for this entity. Whether this is a true SC in situ that is HPV positive/driven, or a vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia with sebaceous differentiation, is not entirely clear. We emphasize the importance of looking for this morphology to avoid misclassification. Due to the rarity of cases, optimal treatment at this site has not been established.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease is a rare neoplasm of apocrine gland-bearing areas of the skin. One of the most common localizations of such a tumor is the perianal area. Surgery is the most frequently reported therapy. However, it is invasive and complicated by a high recurrence rate. An alternative to surgical treatment may be non-invasive photodynamic therapy. We describe in this article the case of a 69-year-old patient with extramammary Paget's disease (a large tumor in the perianal area 22 × 18 cm) successfully treated with chlorin e6 photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Extramammary Paget's Disease (EMPD) is an uncommon intra-epithelial malignancy, affecting primarily apocrine gland-bearing skin. EMPD is often considered an orphan diagnosis given its rarity. This review provides a contemporary overview of EMPD management. RECENT FINDINGS The mainstay of EMPD treatment centers around a high index of suspicion to allow for an early and accurate diagnosis, wide local or Mohs micrographic surgical excision with care paid toward the margin status, and thoughtful consideration for lymphadenectomy in patients with clinically positive regional disease. There is currently no consensus regarding adjuvant therapies or systemic therapies although with ongoing improvements in tumor biology and genomics, including molecular pathways and alterations specific to EMPD, targeted or combinatorial therapies may be on the horizon. SUMMARY Clinicians caring for patients with EMPD should seek consultation from or if feasible, consider referral to high-volume, experienced centers with patients counseled and provided with frequent and close follow-up for disease recurrence or progression. Collaboration with groups such as the Global Society for Rare Genitourinary Tumors, and especially patient groups will be vital to designing trials and collaborative databases.

Stage 3 perianal extra mammary Paget's disease: A case report of a non-operative approach. Int J Surg Case Rep 2022; 91:106796.

Abstract
Introduction and importance Extra mammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare disease characterised by intraepithelial involvement of the skin by non-squamous carcinoma cells in the vulva, perineum, and scrotum. Secondary EMPD is even rarer and accounts for roughly 25% of cases (Delport, 2012) [1]. Surgery (Mohs/wide local excision) is the standard treatment for primary non-invasive disease, but management of secondary invasive EMPD is less defined as there are no current treatment guidelines. Case presentation A 76-year-old lady had a 1-year history of a pruritic perianal rash that was refractory to multiple topical agents. A biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of EMPD in June 2020 and on staging imaging was found to have metastatic disease in her right inguinal lymph node. Upon discussion at a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meeting, she proceeded chemo radiation therapy followed by systemic chemotherapy as she had such extensive perianal disease that would make surgery quite morbid. She had interval imaging 3 monthly to assess response to treatment. In June 2021, the patient had a complete clinical response and has ongoing 6 monthly surveillance. Clinical discussion EMPD is extremely rare and currently treatment options for secondary EMPD are still being navigated. Specifically, there are no current randomised control trials (RCTs) that compare outcomes in secondary EMPD between radiation therapy and surgery and in the context of stage III disease. This case report documents the treatment approach governed by MDT consensus and has a 1 year follow up. The case report has been reported in line with the SCARE 2020 criteria (Agha et al., 2020) [2]. Conclusion The patient has had a good outcome with treatment, however ongoing surveillance is required. EMPD is a rare disease. There are no treatment guidelines for invasive disease. Invasive disease confers high recurrence rates and lower survival rates. There are no RCTs comparing surgery versus radiation therapy in invasive disease. Combined radiation and chemotherapy can be a reasonable definitive treatment in stage 3 disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extramammary Paget's Disease (EMPD) is an intraepithelial cancer that is prone to recurrence and sometimes refractory to therapy. A few EMPD cases have been treated with Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which reported high complete remission (CR) rates and low recurrence with hematoporphyrin derivatives (HpD) The aim of this study was to further explore the efficacy and safety of HpD-PDT for EMPD patients. METHODS Open-label, single arm, pilot study was designed to investigate the role of HpD-PDT in EMPD. The HpD sensitizer was given intravenously at a dose of 3 or 5 mg/kg 48 h before light irradiation with a laser 630 nm red light at a dose level of 150-200 J/cm2. Clinical parameters involving gender, age, disease course, previous treatment, tumor thickness, long diameter of lesion, TNM staging, EMPD staging, HpD dosage, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, 1st month visit result, subsequent treatment, follow up period and endpoint outcomes were collected to evaluate efficacy and safety of the intervention. RESULTS Eleven patients with pathologic confirmed EMPD were treated with HpD-PDT. The thickness of skin lesions which were located in vulva, penis, scrotum, and perianal area is 0.8∼6.7 mm (mean thickness 2.9 mm). All patients were followed up for an average of 17.4 months (12∼27 months). Complete remission (CR) rate and partial remission (PR) rate at the 1st month were 90.1% (10/11) and 9.1% (1/11) respectively. At the end of follow-up, 72.7% of the subjects (8/11) showed CR. Pain, infection, photosensitivity and uroschesis are recorded as adverse events (AEs) in this population, and no event of hepatic impairment was reported. After treatment, all the eleven patients showed different degrees of scar in the treatment site, but none of them had any structural or functional abnormalities. CONCLUSIONS According to our study, HpD-PDT in EMPD is able to offer acceptable disease outcomes including relatively high CR rate, with good cosmetic and functional outcomes, and could be considered a potential recommended therapy for patients with EMPD.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease is a rare condition, affecting 6.5% of all patients with Paget's disease. The most common extramammary site is the vulvar area. Although diagnosis in some patients is difficult to set, early diagnosis is of high importance in order to detect the irreversible progression of the lesion early and prevent distant metastasis. An 89-year-old female and a 69-year-old female presented within three months with an eczematous lesion with leukoplakia in the vulva. The incisional biopsy of the skin revealed extramammary Paget's disease. Both patients underwent a surgical wide local excision of the lesion and the specimens were sent for histopathological examination. Extramammary Paget's disease has a high potential for distant malignancies and local recurrence, dictating that surgical excision is the most efficient treatment. The rareness of the condition and the diagnostic difficulties underline the need for early skin biopsy, which is the most efficient diagnostic tool.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 35:102490. [PMID: 34419676 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102490] [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: 04/30/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of Wood's lamp examination combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) to determine positive tumor margins in patients with extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) before surgery. METHODS We admitted 36 patients with EMPD from January 2016 to June 2019. The experimental group was the 5-ALA-PDT group, and the control group was the wide local excision (WLE) group. In the 5-ALA-PDT group, Wood's lamp examination combined with 5-ALA-PDT was used to trace the fluorescence range, and multipoint biopsy was performed according to the pathology to determine the final excision scope. We applied the standard partial expansion excision method for the WLE group, while frozen pathology assessment was applied to confirm the excision range. We measured the overall resection area of the WLE group and 5-ALA-PDT group. We analyzed the overall duration of surgery, the number of frozen pathology sections, patient satisfaction with appearance and function, the rate of functional sequelae, and the recurrence rate for both groups. RESULTS The results suggested that the difference in final resection margin between the WLE group and the 5-ALA-PDT group was significant. The number of frozen pathology sections, overall surgery time, and recurrence rate were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). The occurrence rate of functional sequelae in the experimental group was lower, and patient satisfaction with appearance and function was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Wood's lamp examination combined with 5-ALA-PDT may predict tumor margins in EMPD.

CLINICAL MEDICINE INSIGHTS-CASE REPORTS 2021; 14:11795476211009251.

Abstract
Penoscrotal extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare intraepithelial adenocarcinoma in older male patients, and no effective nonsurgical treatment strategies are currently available. The aim of this study was to report the usefulness of external radiotherapy (RT) for penoscrotal EMPD in an inoperable elderly patient. This report presents the treatment of an 89-year-old man with widespread penoscrotal EMPD. A multidisciplinary treatment team decided on radical RT. The patient received a radiation dose of 61.8 Gy in 30 fractions through electron and photon beams. His treatment tolerance was good, and no severe toxicity had been observed up the last follow-up. At 6.5 years after the RT, the patient showed no evidence of recurrence. Definitive RT resulted in excellent disease control and minimal toxicity; thus, it could be a promising nonsurgical therapeutic option for penoscrotal EMPD, even in extremely elderly individuals.
