Abstract
|
|
|
Extramammary Paget¡¯s disease is an uncommon intraepithelial malignancy that usually presents as a well circumscribed, reddish eczematous patch on the apocrine-bearing regions such as the genital and perineal areas. It progresses slowly with local extension. However, it may become invasive and may be associated with internal malignancies. Extramammary Paget¡¯s disease has high local recurrence rates after complete surgical excision and therefore, long-term follow-up is necessary. Extramammary Paget¡¯s disease of the axilla is extremely rare, with few reported cases. We report here a case of extramammary Paget¡¯s disease of the axilla in a 68-yr-old man, with a review of the literature.
