AI Article Synopsis

  • Paget disease of the breast is a type of cancer affecting the nipple skin, while extramammary Paget disease occurs in other skin areas like the pubis and perianal regions.
  • A case study is presented about a Japanese woman in her 70s who had two ectopic extramammary Paget disease lesions on her chest and buttock, which were surgically removed.
  • This case is notable as it marks only the third instance of multiple simultaneous ectopic extramammary Paget disease and highlights the diagnostic challenges due to its unusual locations.

Article Abstract

Paget disease of the breast is a malignant tumor that occurs primarily on the skin of the nipple, whereas extramammary Paget disease occurs on the skin in regions other than the breast, such as the pubis, perianal area, and axilla. Paget disease can also arise outside these areas; this is referred to as ectopic extramammary Paget disease. In this study, we present a case of a Japanese woman in her 70s who experienced simultaneous occurrence of two ectopic extramammary Paget disease lesions on the skin of the anterior chest and left buttock. Both lesions, exceeding 5 cm in diameter, were surgically excised, and the histopathological examination led to a diagnosis of ectopic extramammary Paget disease without invasion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third reported case of multiple simultaneous ectopic extramammary Paget disease. Clinically, diagnosis of a patient with ectopic extramammary Paget disease is challenging because of its unusual location; however, the disease may be considered a differential diagnosis for Bowen disease.
