    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is an uncommon adenocarcinoma affecting the epidermis.
    • It can mimic eczematous conditions, leading to diagnostic challenges.
    • EMPD occurs in various locations, including perianal skin, axilla, and genitalia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the key characteristics of Extramammary Paget's disease.
    • To highlight its differential diagnosis from eczema.
    • To emphasize the association with underlying malignancies.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on Extramammary Paget's disease.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and histopathological findings.
    • Correlation with associated systemic or localized cancers.

    Main Results:

    • Extramammary Paget's disease presents as an epidermal adenocarcinoma.
    • Common locations include perianal, genital, axillary, and umbilical skin.
    • A significant association with underlying malignancies, such as squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, has been noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Extramammary Paget's disease requires careful differentiation from benign dermatoses like eczema.
    • Its presence may signify metastatic spread or a primary epidermal adenocarcinoma.
    • Vigilance for associated malignancies is essential in managing patients with EMPD.
