Anatomic Subtype Differences in Extramammary Paget Disease: A Meta-Analysis. JAMA Dermatol 2024; 160:417-424. [PMID: 38446447 PMCID: PMC10918581 DOI: 10.1001/jamadermatol.2024.0001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
Importance Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare, highly recurrent cutaneous malignant neoplasm of unclear origin. EMPD arises most commonly on the vulvar and penoscrotal skin. It is not presently known how anatomic subtype of EMPD affects disease presentation and management. Objective To compare demographic and tumor characteristics and treatment approaches for different EMPD subtypes. Recommendations for diagnosis and treatment are presented. Data Sources MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane Reviews CENTRAL from December 1, 1990, to October 24, 2022. Study Selection Articles were excluded if they were not in English, reported fewer than 3 patients, did not specify information by anatomic subtype, or contained no case-level data. Metastatic cases on presentation were also excluded. Data Extraction and Synthesis Abstracts of 1295 eligible articles were independently reviewed by 5 coauthors, and 135 articles retained. Reporting was in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines. The analysis was cunducted in August 2019 and updated in November 2022. Findings Most vulvar EMPD cases were asymptomatic, and diagnosis was relatively delayed (mean, 25.1 months). Although most vulvar EMPD cases were intraepidermal (1247/1773 [70.3%]), radical surgeries were still performed in almost one-third of cases. Despite this aggressive surgical approach, 481 of 1423 (34%) recurred, commonly confined to the skin and mucosa (177/198 [89.4%]). By contrast, 152 of 1101 penoscrotal EMPD cases (14%) recurred, but more than one-third of these recurrences were regional or associated with distant metastases (54 of 152 [35.5%]). Perianal EMPD cases recurred in one-third of cases (74/218 [33.9%]), with one-third of these recurrences being regional or associated with distant metastasis (20 of 74 [27.0%]). Perianal EMPD also had the highest rate of invasive disease (50% of cases). Conclusions and Relevance The diagnosis and treatment of EMPD should differ based on anatomic subtypes. Considerations for updated practice may include less morbid treatments for vulvar EMPD, which is primarily epidermal, and close surveillance for local recurrence in vulvar EMPD and metastatic recurrence in perianal EMPD. Recurrences in penoscrotal subtype were less common, and selective surveillance in this subtype may be considered. Limitations of this study include the lack of replication cohorts and the exclusion of studies that did not stratify outcomes by anatomic subtype.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Localized extra-mammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is mainly treated with surgical resection. Curative radiation therapy (CRT) is an alternative to surgery. Electron beams and conventional X-ray methods have been used in patients with EMPD for radiotherapy. The present report describes the case of a very elderly patient with perineal EMPD who was treated with definitive radiotherapy consisting of 60 Gy in 30 fractions. Surgery was deemed too difficult because of his age and comorbidities. We adopted volumetric modulated arc therapy as the radiotherapy modality, a recent, advanced form of intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Grade 3 dermatitis was observed as an acute phase adverse event, and he achieved a complete response and maintained remission for over one-year post-treatment. Our radiotherapy treatment protocol resulted in good clinical outcomes; therefore, it may be a candidate for inoperable patients with EMPD.

Abstract
Objective To examine the association between the performance of mapping biopsies and surgical outcomes postexcision of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). Background Primary EMPD is a rare entity associated with poorly defined surgical margins and difficult-to-access sites of lesions. Surgical resection with clear margins remains the preferred management method. The use of mapping biopsies might be beneficial, particularly in lowering disease recurrence. Methods Available literature was reviewed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology before a fixed-effect meta-analysis was performed to identify the presence of a correlation between performing mapping biopsies and positive margins on permanent sections as well as disease-free survival. Additional study results not included in the quantitative assessment were qualitatively assessed and reported. Results A total of 12 studies were shortlisted for final analysis. 294 patients who underwent mapping biopsies and 48 patients who did not undergo mapping biopsies were included in the assessment. Forest plot analysis revealed a pooled rate ratio of 0.50 (95% CI, 0.32-0.77) in the prevalence of positive margins in patients with mapping biopsies performed as compared to patients without. The pooled rate ratio of the prevalence of disease-free survival in patients with mapping biopsies performed as compared to patients without was 1.38 (95% CI, 1.03-1.84). Qualitative assessment of the remaining selected studies revealed equivocal results. Conclusions Mapping biopsies are able to improve EMPD surgical excision outcomes but given the rarity of the disease and heterogeneity of mapping biopsy procedures, further confirmation with randomized controlled trials or a larger patient pool is necessary.

Abstract
The treatment of choice for Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is wide excision. However, owing to the tendency of microscopic spread and multi-centricity of the disease, resection margins are hard to determine. Despite the use of adjunctive methods such as mapping biopsy and Moh's micrographic surgery, recurrence rates remain high. We aim to establish treatment guidelines by determining the variables associated with recurrence and the optimal resection margin size. We reviewed 52 patients who underwent wide excision in our institution between 2002 and 2017. A retrospective review of patient demographics, disease characteristics, and resection margins was performed. Most patients were Chinese (n = 39, 75%) male (n = 38, 73.1%). The mean tumor size was 6.73 cm (SD=4.10; range, 1.50-21.0 cm). The mean resection margin was 2.5 cm (SD=1.21; range, 0.20-5.50 cm). Eleven patients (21.2%) had disease recurrence. Nodal involvement significantly correlated with disease recurrence or mortality related to disease (HR=4.645; 95% CI=1.539,14.018; p = 0.0064). Subgroup analysis showed a significant correlation between resection margin size and recurrence rates (p = 0.047). We observed that a smaller resection margin (<2 cm) is acceptable for smaller tumor sizes (<6 cm) to achieve the lowest possible recurrence rates (20%), whereas a larger resection margin (>2 cm) is required for larger tumor sizes (>6 cm) (p = 0.012). Our results suggest that a resection margin recommendation can be made in correlation to the tumor size. This serves as a guideline for surgeons to predict the defect size and provide options for reconstructive surgery while achieving low recurrence rates.

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 Vulvar Paget's disease (VPD) is defined as a neoplasm of epithelial origin, mostly in postmenopausal women. Due to the extreme rarity of VPD, limited data about recommended treatment options are available. Surgical excision has been the treatment of choice although in the recent decade medical treatments have been proposed. METHODS A systematic computerized search of the literature was performed in the main electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library), from 2003 to September 2022, in order to analyze all medical and surgical strategies used for the treatment of VPD. RESULTS Thirty-four articles were included in this review with findings as follows: 390 patients were treated with medical or other conservative treatment while 2802 patients were treated surgically; 235/434 (54%) patients had a complete response, 67/434 (15%) a partial response, 10/434 (2.3%) a stable disease, 3/434 (0.7%) disease progress, 3/434 (0.7%) died of the disease, 55/434 (13%) died of other causes during follow up while 7/434 (1.6%) had to stop topical treatments with 5% imiquimod cream because of side effects; 239/434 patients (55%) had a recurrence and 11/434 (2.5%) were lost to follow-up. The length of follow-up was variable, according to the different studies analyzed. CONCLUSION VPD is a chronic disease with a high recurrence rate and low mortality. There are no significant differences in recurrence rates in patients who undergo surgery and those who do not and the margin status at the time of primary surgery and recurrence. Several surgical and medical approaches providing both local control of the disease and minimal tissue damage have been developed. Clock mapping, a recent preoperative vulvo-vaginal workup tool, can predict the invasiveness and the extension of VPD. However, to date, due to the different treatment options available and in the absence of a global consensus, it is critical to tailor treatments to individual patient characteristics and biopsy histopathologic findings, to ensure the best type of therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare, slow growing neoplasm that presents most commonly in the anogenital region of older adults. OBJECTIVE To analyze the difference in local recurrence rates of EMPD in patients treated with wide local excision (WLE) versus Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis were performed. Inclusion criteria were adults greater than 18 years of age with a diagnosis of EMPD who have undergone surgical intervention and had follow-up data. Studies were independently reviewed by 2 coinvestigators with discrepancies resolved by the principal investigator. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Patients had a 2.67 times higher chance of local recurrence after WLE than MMS (95% confidence interval [CI]:1.47, 4.85; p = .001). Meta-analysis of single-arm studies revealed a 7.3% local recurrence rate after MMS (95% CI: 0.039, 0.107; p < .001) versus a 26.3% recurrence rate after WLE (95% CI: 0.149, 0.376; p < .001). After excluding recurrent tumors, the odds ratio for recurrence in WLE versus MMS was 2.3 (95% CI: 0.285, 18.43, p = .435). CONCLUSION There is a clinically and statistically increased risk of local recurrence of EMPD after WLE compared with MMS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare neoplastic condition that commonly affects the anogenital area in the elderly. Owing to its low incidence, limited data regarding EMPD's diagnosis and treatment have been available. This review article aims to explore the current knowledge of EMPD to improve the management of this disease. Areas covered: This review outlines the diagnosis and management of EMPD. Articles on this issue that had been published in PubMed were identified and surveyed. We provide an overview of the reported studies, focusing on the recent advances in this field. Expert commentary: A new TNM staging system specific for EMPD has been proposed in Japan; the T category was classified by tumor thickness and lymphovascular invasion, the N category by the number of metastatic lymph nodes, and the M category by systemic metastases. As new diagnostic tools for EMPD, dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy have emerged. Recent reports about Mohs micrographic surgery, mapping biopsy, radiation therapy, photodynamic therapy, topical imiquimod, conventional chemotherapy, and targeted therapy are also discussed. Despite the increasing publications of EMPD, limited information on this condition is available and the accumulation of more data is required.

[PMID: 29277730 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2017.12.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2017] [Revised: 12/13/2017] [Accepted: 12/17/2017] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) sometimes shows an ill-defined border and an unexpectedly extended tumor spread beyond the clinical borders. Mapping biopsy is 1 approach for complete surgical removal, but its efficacy has remained controversial. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate mapping biopsies for EMPD. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 133 patients with 150 primary EMPD lesions. We histopathologically examined 1182 skin biopsy specimens (975 from mapping biopsy and 207 from lesional biopsy). RESULTS Only 1.6% of mapping biopsy specimens from well-defined EMPD (13 of 810) were positive. Moreover, 4.6% of mapping biopsy specimens from ill-defined EMPD (8 of 165) were positive, whereas all specimens taken from sites 2 cm or more from the clinical border were negative. For both well-defined and ill-defined EMPD, there was no significant difference in the margin status of surgical resection regardless of mapping biopsy. LIMITATIONS This was a retrospective study. CONCLUSIONS Mapping biopsies are unnecessary for well-defined EMPD or when 2-cm margins can be achieved, whereas surgical removal with predetermined margins (1 cm for well-defined EMPD and 2 cm for ill-defined EMPD) appears to be safe. Mapping biopsies can be considered when shortening of the safe surgical margin to less than 2 cm is required in ill-defined EMPD.

Abstract
Aims and background Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm that occurs in areas containing apocrine glands, and the vulva is the most commonly involved site. Wide surgical excision with subsequent defect reconstruction is widely accepted as the first-line treatment for EMPD. More recently, radiation treatment has been considered an appropriate primary or adjuvant treatment. In an effort to replace wide excision and avoid unfavorable aesthetic results and sexual dysfunction, we decided to excise the tumor minimally and to add adjuvant radiation treatment. Methods A 71-year-old woman had EMPD at the right labium majus. The patient was treated by minimal excision with a 1-cm safety margin and by adjuvant radiation treatment weekly from 1 month to 3 months after surgery to a total dose of 70.2 Gy. Four months after completing the radiation treatment, a 10-point surgical biopsy around the site of previous resection was performed. Radiation treatment caused hypertrophy of the left labium minus, which was treated by additional labiaplasty (labium minus reduction) to obtain optimal aesthetic results. Results Surgical biopsy revealed no definite evidence of recurrence. Currently, the patient had no EMPD symptoms, is satisfied with a symmetrical vagina, and experiences no discomfort during ordinary activities or intercourse. Conclusions Minimal tumor excision (with a 1-cm safety margin), adjuvant radiotherapy, and additional labiaplasty were performed to treat EMPD. Complete tumor removal without recurrence, an aesthetically satisfactory result, and normal sexual function were achieved in this patient.

Abstract
Fox-Fordyce disease (FFD) is a rare chronic disorder characterised by persistent inflammation because of the obstruction of apocrine sweat glands, which is a key factor of pathogenesis. The treatment of FFD is known to be difficult, and the modalities of treatment have not yet been widely studied. We report the successful treatment of a case of bilateral areolar FFD by a combination of surgical excision and 1550-nm fractionated erbium glass laser in an 18-year-old woman. The patient presented with a bilateral areolar eruption of multiple, severely pruritic, 3-4 mm skin- to grey-coloured folliculocentric dome-shaped papules. The initial treatment plan was for bilateral surgical excision of the larger and more highly elevated papules via circumferential dermal excision, which was intended to maintain the areolar contour and minimise distortion. A 1550-nm fractional erbium glass laser was then used to control the remnant lesions. The patient was recurrence-free at 14 months after the final laser treatment, and she was fully satisfied with the treatment results.

[PMID: 25673934 PMCID: PMC4323605 DOI: 10.5021/ad.2015.27.1.66] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2014] [Revised: 10/13/2014] [Accepted: 11/19/2014] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Various therapeutic options, including surgery, electrocautery, cryotherapy, 5-fluorouracil treatment, laser therapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and interferon-α/γ injection, have been employed to treat vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) with varying degrees of success. To truly cure VIN, human papillomavirus elimination is considered important. Objective To investigate the efficacy of 5% imiquimod cream used to treat VIN in Korean patients Methods We performed a prospective, uncontrolled, observational study. Nine patients with histologically confirmed VIN applied 5% imiquimod cream to their vulvar lesions three to five times a week until a clinical response was apparent. All lesions were photo-documented, and therapeutic efficacy was assessed in terms of local adverse effects lesion number, size, and hyperpigmentation. Results The mean treatment duration was 30.2 months, and the median follow-up period after therapy completion was 30 months. Of the nine patients recruited, six (66.6%) experienced complete responses (CR) or partial responses (PR). Hyperpigmented patches in the VIN lesions were evident in five subjects (55.6%), and all experienced either CR or PR. Only three patients (33.3%) suffered from local adverse effects, which were relieved after temporary suspension of therapy, and better outcomes were attained ultimately. Conclusion The imiquimod cream was more efficacious when used to treat VIN of the hyperpigmented type compared with lesions lacking pigmentation. The unifocal nature of a lesion and the development of local adverse effects are useful factors when imiquimod cream is prescribed. However, although the cream is convenient and effective, regional resistance may develop, and close follow-up is essential because VIN may become malignant.
