Background: Topical imiquimod has been shown to be an effective treatment for extramammary Paget disease (EMPD), although available evidence supporting its use is based on case reports and small series of patients.

Objectives: To investigate the therapeutic outcomes and analyse potential clinicopathological factors associated with the imiquimod response in a large cohort of patients with EMPD.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of 125 patients with EMPD treated with imiquimod at 20 Spanish tertiary-care hospitals.
