| Summary: | Extramammary Paget′s disease is a marginated plaque resembling Paget′s disease but occurring in anogenital area, axilla or most commonly on the vulva. A 62-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with extremely pruritic plaque on the perineal skin which progressed gradually over 3 years and did not respond to any topical/systemic steroids, antibiotics, and antifungals. Examination revealed 7 × 8 cm. hypertrophic, verrucous plaque with erosions, and crusts at places. There was no evidence of visceral malignancy. Biopsy showed Paget′s cells which were positive for Periodic Acid Schiff and alcian blue stain. Surgical excision was done considering the premalignant potential. |
