Immunohistochemical study of mammary and extra-mammary Paget's disease. 1984

Paraffin sections of 13 cases of Paget's disease (six mammary and seven extra-mammary) were investigated with mono- and polyclonal anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and with monoclonal anti-human milk fat globule membrane antigen (HMFG). One of these cases was also analysed in cryostat sections with monoclonal anti-cytokeratin and anti-keratin. Three immunohistochemical labelling patterns were identified: (I) All six cases of mammary Paget's disease were positive for anti-HMFG and negative with monoclonal anti-CEA (although they stained to a variable degree with polyclonal anti-CEA). (2) Two cases of extra-mammary Paget's disease (both anal location) were positive with monoclonal anti-CEA and only weakly stained for HMFG suggesting epidermal spread from a colo-rectal carcinoma. (3) The other five cases of extra-mammary Paget's disease were negative or weakly stained for CEA and positive for HMFG. We speculate that this group of cases represents epidermotropic eccrine carcinoma. The immunohistochemical use of monoclonal anti-HMFG and -CEA is helpful in the diagnosis of Paget's disease; moreover it gives information about the origin of the primary tumour.

D010145 Paget Disease, Extramammary A rare cutaneous neoplasm that occurs in the elderly. It develops more frequently in women and predominantly involves apocrine gland-bearing areas, especially the vulva, scrotum, and perianal areas. The lesions develop as erythematous scaly patches that progress to crusted, pruritic, erythematous plaques. The clinical differential diagnosis includes squamous cell carcinoma in situ and superficial fungal infection. It is generally thought to be an adenocarcinoma of the epidermis, from which it extends into the contiguous epithelium of hair follicles and eccrine sweat ducts.
