    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Vulvar Paget's disease is a rare intraepithelial adenocarcinoma.
    • Accurate assessment of disease extent is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the subgross and microscopic extent of vulvar Paget's disease.
    • To correlate histologically determined disease margins with visible lesion size.

    Main Methods:

    • Subserial total sectioning of four vulvectomy specimens.
    • Histopathological examination to delineate disease boundaries.

    Main Results:

    • Histologically confirmed disease significantly exceeded the visible lesion size in all cases.
    • Irregular disease outlines and multifocal disease were consistently observed.

  • Microscopic margins were often wider than clinically apparent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Standard clinical assessment underestimates the true extent of vulvar Paget's disease.
    • Subserial sectioning is essential for accurate margin assessment.
    • Findings impact surgical planning, potentially requiring wider excisions and adjuvant therapies.
