Although its significance remains unknown, it has recently been reported that epidermal papillomatous hyperplasia could be frequently found in extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). The simultaneous occurrence of EMPD and various human-papillomavirus (HPV)-associated neoplasms has also been reported. We report a case of a perianal EMPD with multiple verrucous papules on its surface. Histologically, the verrucous papules consisted of two distinct histological patterns; one showed numerous Paget's cells within the hyperplastic epidermis with papillomatosis, and the other showed the features compatible with condyloma acuminatum (CA). HPV-6 DNA was demonstrated in koilocytic keratinocytes of the CA by in situ hybridization. No positive signal was obtained for targeted HPV type 6/11/16/18/31/33 DNA in either the verrucous or plaque EMPD. Since the verrucous papules were localized on the plaque of EMPD, our case suggests that some undetermined EMPD-related factors may contribute to the development of epithelial hyperplasia, including HPV-associated neoplasms.

Article Synopsis
  • Acral warts, common on hands and feet, can be treated with conventional photodynamic therapy (C-PDT), which has been effective and safe for both adults and children, but the efficacy of daylight photodynamic therapy (DL-PDT) is still unclear.
  • A study involving 68 patients aimed to compare the short- and long-term effects of C-PDT and DL-PDT using 10% aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on hand warts, with evaluations of responses occurring at 3 months and 1 year post-treatment.
  • Results showed that both treatments were generally effective and well-tolerated, with a majority of patients experiencing excellent responses; however, a notable percentage had warts relapse a year later

Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Aesthetics, Dr Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang, Indonesia.

Giant condylomata acuminata (GCA) is a rare presentation of anogenital wart (AGW), invasive locally but does not metastasize. Combination therapy for GCA is suggested based on modalities and experiences. The combination of TCA and podophyllin has showed good efficacy, followed by electrocautery to eradicate warts.
