Abstract:
We present a 79-year-old man who suffered from extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) with bowenoid histological features accompanied by an ectopic EMPD lesion on his abdomen. He had had an erythematous plaque on his genital region for three years. Based on a biopsy specimen, he was referred to our hospital with the histological diagnosis of Bowen's disease. The histological findings of the genital lesion obtained by surgical resection showed typical areas of Paget's cells adjacent to areas characteristic of Bowen's disease. Immunohistochemical findings showed CEA and CK7 positive tumor cells in both areas, so the atypical cells showing the bowenoid pattern could be regarded as tumor cells of Paget's disease. Immunohistochemical staining for CEA and CK7 along with multiple biopsies can be helpful in making the diagnosis of Paget's disease with bowenoid histologic features.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Appendicitis-I: Introduction
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
