Studies
Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is rare and as such medical studies and research on EMPD is often difficult to find. Due to limited participation, EMPD studies can differ in conclusions.
Axillary extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare condition with only a few cases reported in the literature. We performed a retrospective review and identified 16 cases of EMPD with axillary involvement. None of the patients developed recurrence or metastasis after surgery at a mean follow-up of 63.6 months. Axillary EMPD shares similar clinicopathological features with typical EMPD.
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an uncommon malignancy that occurs in apocrine gland-rich areas of the body. EMPD of the axilla is rare, but a few cases have been reported. Some cases of EMPD have been reported with underlying apocrine adenocarcinoma; rarely, mammary-type ductal carcinoma can accompany EMPD. Here, we report a very rare case of EMPD with apocrine adenocarcinoma and invasive mammary-type ductal carcinoma.
