Extramammary Paget’s Disease of Vulva: An Unusual Entity
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Extramammary Paget’s disease is a rare skin malignancy that presents as a primary lesion or can be an extension of an underlying adenocarcinoma. Primary extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) typically affects areas rich in apocrine sweat glands, such as perineum (vulva in this case). Localised form is surgically excised. However, extensive or metastatic form is treated with chemotherapy/radiotherapy or a combination of both. Data regarding treatment of extensive EMPD are limited.
