Extramammary Paget disease
Diagnosis in short

Extramammary Paget's disease. H&E stain.

LM large epithelioid cells - nested or single - in the epidermis, clear/pale cytoplasm (occasionally eosinophilic), large nucleoli
LM DDx benign Toker cell hyperplasia, malignant melanoma, Bowen's disease, apocrine carcinoma of the skin
IHC CK7 +ve, CEA +ve, S-100 -ve, CK5/6 -ve, HER2 +ve
Gross erythema, +/-weeping, +/-crusted
Site vulva, penis, scrotum, others

Symptoms pruritis (itchy)
Prognosis typically benign - usually not associated with an underlying malignancy (unlike Paget's disease of the breast)
Clin. DDx contact dermatitis, lichen sclerosus

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] or scrotum.[2]

Clinical:

  • Pruritis.

Gross

Features:[2]

  • Plaque with an irregular border.
  • Erythematous or white.

Clinical DDx:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Epitheliod morphology (round/ovoid).
  • Cells nested or single.
  • Clear/pale cytoplasm key feature - may also be eosinophilic.
  • Large nucleoli.

DDx

Stains

IHC

Panel:

  • CEA +ve (-ve in Bowen's disease, -ve in Toker cells).
  • CK7 +ve.
    • Toker cells CK7 +ve.[5]
  • S100 -ve, HMB-45 -ve (both typically +ve in melanoma).
