Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment of penile Paget's disease.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the treatment and follow-up data of 10 cases of penile Paget's disease surgically treated in Jiangsu Provincial Government Hospital and Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital from 2008 to 2012.

Results: All the 10 patients received expanded local resection of the lesion with reconstruction of the defects with scrotal skin flaps or free skin flaps from the thigh. All surgeries were successful and the postoperative course was uneventful with complete graft survival and no lymph node metastasis. IIEF scores obtained before and 1 -2 months after surgery showed no statistically significant differences in the penile erectile function (P = 0.229), sexual orgasm (P = 0.761), and sexual satisfaction (P = 0.801) of the patients.

Conclusion: When penile skin lesions suggest the possibility of Paget's disease, biopsy should be performed and surgery should follow as soon as possible. The ideal surgical option is expanded local resection of the lesion with reconstruction of the defects with scrotal skin flaps or free flaps according to the patient's specific conditions.

Background: Private-part skin diseases (PPSDs) can cause a patient's stigma, which may hinder the early diagnosis of these diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an effective tool to improve the early diagnosis of PPSDs, especially in preventing the deterioration of skin tumors in private parts such as Paget disease. However, to our knowledge, there is currently no research on using AI to identify PPSDs due to the complex backgrounds of the lesion areas and the challenges in data collection.

Article Synopsis
  • Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare type of skin cancer that mainly affects areas with apocrine glands like the vulva, scrotum, and penis, and often has a poor prognosis, especially with distant metastases.
  • Patients with localized EMPD generally have a good 5-year survival rate between 60%-92%, while those with metastases only have about a 10% survival rate.
  • A case report highlights a 57-year-old man with metastatic EMPD who responded well to a combination of an immune checkpoint inhibitor and chemotherapy, suggesting this approach may improve outcomes for others with similar advanced disease.*

Article Synopsis
  • Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an uncommon skin cancer that primarily affects areas outside of the breast.
  • The patient in this case had EMPD affecting the groin, penis, and scrotum, and underwent two surgeries to remove the lesions.
  • A skin graft was used for reconstruction of the scrotum, and after 37 months of follow-up, there were no signs of tumor recurrence and the results were considered satisfactory.*

Article Synopsis
  • Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare skin cancer affecting the penoscrotal region, and reconstructive surgery poses significant challenges.
  • The study evaluated the use of the SCIP (superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator) propeller flap for reconstructing defects caused by EMPD in 24 patients over 12 years.
  • Results showed that the SCIP propeller flap was safe, with no major complications, and all patients achieved good healing and maintained function without recurrence for up to 59 months.

Background: Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare skin cancer with unclear pathogenesis, insidious progression, and high recurrence rate. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features and postoperative recurrence factors of primary EMPD.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 40 patients with primary EMPD who underwent wide local excision surgery at a single medical center between 2009 and 2019.
