Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare skin cancer that typically occurs in the anogenital area of older people. Since efficacy of treatments for metastatic or unresectable EMPD remains poor, development of a novel therapeutic approach is strongly desired. However, the lack of EMPD models has hampered investigation of EMPD.

In a 2015 study of mutation carriers who had initial negative bone scintigraphy, we found that the rate of development of Paget's disease of bone (PDB) over 5 yr was low. We report here an additional 8-yr follow-up of this cohort, exploring the hypothesis that the rate of development of PDB would increase as the cohort aged. In the current study, 21 of 24 subjects from 2015 who had a negative bone scintiscan at baseline and at first follow-up, had a repeat scintiscan and measurement of total serum alkaline phosphatase activity.

Background: Tumor-associated tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are functional immune-responsive aggregates, which have been reported to be associated with better prognosis in various tumors. However, their exact characteristics and prognostic value in extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) remain unknown.
Objective: To explore the features of TLSs in EMPD and their association with clinicopathological characteristics.
