Abstract
Fifty-five patients with extramammary paget's disease treated at the Department of Dermatology, Kanazawa University of Medical Science between 1989 and 2004 are reviewed. The average age was 70.8 years old, and the male/female ratio was 2.9:1. Fifty patients had lesions on the genital area, 3 on the perianal region, 1 on the hypogastric region, and 4 on the axilla. Associated malignancies were detected in 12.7% of the cases. Twenty-seven cases had in situ regions. Lymph node metastases were found in 18% of the cases. Four patients showed local recurrence. Seven patients died from extramammary Paget's disease. The prognosis was related to the presence of nodules and the depth of invasion. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2005; 20: 311-317]
