Extramammary Paget disease, abbreviated EMPD, is a skin disease. As the name suggests, there is also a Paget disease of the breast.
There is also a Paget disease of the bone - just to make things confusing. This is dealt with in the bone article and has nothing (from a pathologic perspective) to do with the Paget disease discussed in this article
General
- Usually not associated with malignancy, unlike the Paget disease of the breast - important difference.
- Classically seen in the vulva.
- May afflict penis.[1]
Clinical:
- Pruritis.
Gross
- Erythema.
Microscopic
Features:
- Epitheliod morphology (round/ovoid).
- Cells nested or single.
- Clear/pale cytoplasm key feature - may also be eosinophilic.
- Large nucleoli.
Images
DDx
- Benign Toker cell hyperplasia.
- Malignant melanoma.
- Bowen disease.
- Apocrine carcinoma of the skin.[2]
- Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma.
Stains
- Mucicarmine stain +ve.
IHC
Panel:
- CEA +ve (-ve in Bowen's disease, -ve in Toker cells).
- CK7 +ve.
- Toker cells CK7 +ve.[3]
- S100 -ve, HMB-45 -ve (both typically +ve in melanoma).
Additional:
- HER2/neu - usually +ve.
- CK5/6 -ve.[4]
- Usu. +ve in squamous cell carcinoma.
- CAM 5.2 +ve.
