Perianal Paget's Disease Co-Associated with Anorectal Adenocarcinoma: Primary or Secondary Disease?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) represents a skin neoplasm which can be either primary or secondary to carcinoma from an adjacent internal organ. PPD with underlying colorectal adenocarcinoma is usually looked upon as a secondary disease. We report a rare case of co-associated PPD and anorectal adenocarcinoma. The PPD was found to be located near the anorectal adenocarcinoma with normal tissues between them. Immunohistochemical stains demonstrated that the Paget's cells were CK7+/GCDFP-15-/CK20-/MUC2-/CDX2-, whereas the anorectal adenocarcinoma was shown to be CK7+/GCDFP-15-/CK20+/MUC2+/CDX2+. This immunological phenotypic profile supported the notion that PPD and anorectal adenocarcinoma were of different origins, but could not define the exact origins of PPD. In our determination, this case was a primary PPD with anorectal adenocarcinoma. PPD remains a heterogeneous and complex pathology, and additional studies are required to differentiate between the various possible origins.

Three cases of perianal Paget's disease are presented. Clinically, three patients had a chronic irritating perianal rash resistant to hydrocortisone cream. One patient had an underlying rectal adenocarcinoma. The controversies in the histogenesis of Paget's cells in perianal Paget's disease remain unresolved, but it appears that perianal Paget's disease probably is more than one disease and is ...

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare disease which is found in apocrine-rich locations such as anogenital region, axilla and rarely in other sites. Perianal EMPD is often reported as the involvement of perianal skin, but involvement of anal mucosa is very rare. Based on pathogenesis and association with either synchronous or metachronous malignancy, EMPD can be divided into primary and...
