Background: Pagetoid squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCIS) is a histopathologic variant of SCCIS composed of cells that display an abundant, pale-staining cytoplasm in a pagetoid distribution within the epidermis. As pagetoid SCCIS is sometimes difficult to differentiate from extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) histopathologically, specific markers for pagetoid SCCIS or EMPD are needed by dermatopathologists.
Methods: In this report, we employed immunohistochemical staining for receptor of activated nuclear factor kappa ligand (RANKL) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in six cases each of pagetoid SCCIS and EMPD.
Results: The Paget cells strongly expressed RANKL in EMPD, whereas the atypical keratinocytes did not express RANKL in any of the six cases of pagetoid SCCIS. In all cases of pagetoid SCCIS, atypical keratinocytes expressed PD-L1. In EMPD, Paget cells expressed PD-L1 in half of the cases at a lower level of expression than was seen in the surrounding keratinocytes.
Conclusion: This study suggested that RANKL, but not PD-L1, could be a marker to differentiate between pagetoid SCCIS and EMPD.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the esophagus, however, pagetoid SCCIS is an extremely rare condition in esophagus.1 Pagetoid Squamous Cell Carcinoma In-Situ (SCCIS) has been described in skin and external genitalia frequently.2 Herein we report a case of pagetoid squamous cell carcinoma in-situ in a 50-year-old male with clinical information, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings.

Background: Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1 (TPRS1) expression has been found to be highly sensitive and specific for breast carcinomas. The frequency of TRPS1 expression in cutaneous neoplasms such as mammary Paget disease (MPD) and extramammary PD (EMPD) is currently unknown. We assessed the utility of TRPS1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the evaluation of MPD, EMPD, and their histopathologic mimics, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCIS) and melanoma in situ (MIS).

Squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCIS) with diffuse pagetoid features has been well-described in skin and external genitalia. Diffuse pagetoid SCCIS of the esophagus is extremely rare with only two cases published in the English literature. In this article, we report a rare case of diffuse pagetoid SCCIS of the esophagus in an 89-year-old female with no significant past medical history who presented with dysphagia.

Background: Actinic keratosis (AK) and squamous cell carcinoma in-situ (SCCIS) within or near melanoma in situ (MIS) can complicate diagnosis due to overlapping clinical and microscopic features. This study aimed to describe basilar melanocyte density and pagetoid spread in AK and SCCIS for improved diagnostic accuracy.
Methods: A total of 22 AK and 22 SCCIS biopsies containing a margin of uninvolved epidermis were immunostained with MART-1 (melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells 1).
