Axillary extramammary Paget disease in a patient with a history of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: To the Editor: We present a case of an 81-year-old woman with a history of Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome who was evaluated in dermatology for a new thin tan-to-pink plaque in her left axilla (Fig 1). A shave biopsy from the lesion revealed extramammary Paget disease (EMPD). Total skin examination was otherwise unremarkable. Thorough oncologic work-up was reassuring and included a mammogram, contrast computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, thyroid ultrasound, gynecologic examination, colonoscopy (revealed 4 benign polyps), and review of screening magnetic resonance imaging abdomen from 2 years prior.
