Microscopically controlled surgery for extramammary Paget's disease.

F E Mohs, L Blanchard

    Archives of Dermatology
    |June 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Microscopically controlled surgery effectively removes extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) by precisely excising all neoplastic tissue, even in clinically normal-appearing skin. This technique significantly reduces recurrence rates compared to conventional methods, ensuring long-term patient remission.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare intraepithelial adenocarcinoma.
    • Conventional surgical approaches often result in high recurrence rates for EMPD.

    Observation:

    • Five cases of EMPD were treated using microscopically controlled surgical techniques.
    • Histological examination revealed neoplastic tissue extending beyond clinically apparent margins in all lesions.
    • Both fresh-tissue and fixed-tissue chemosurgical techniques were employed.

    Findings:

    • Complete tumor removal was achieved in all five patients.
    • Patients remained disease-free for periods ranging from four months to nine years.
    • This contrasts with a reported 44% recurrence rate for conventional surgery.

    Implications:

    • Microscopically controlled surgery is a highly effective method for treating EMPD.
    • This technique maximizes the removal of neoplastic tissue while preserving healthy skin.
    • It offers a more reliable approach to achieving long-term remission in EMPD patients.
