Sialomucin in Paget cells of extramammary Paget's disease. 1983

Y Sasai, and T Nakama, and M Kasada

The cytoplasmic sialomucin in Paget cells of extramammary Paget's disease was examined by means of a battery of histochemical techniques. The staining methods used involved an electrolyte--Alcian Blue (pH 5.8), periodic acid--Schiff and azure A at selected pH levels. Methylation, saponification, borohydride reduction, acid hydrolysis, and digestion with diastase, neuraminidase (Vibrio cholerae) or chondroitinase ABC, were also employed. The cytoplasmic mucin was found to exhibit positive reaction for the above staining which were variously altered by the chemical modification procedures and diminished in intensity or abolished by digestion with neuraminidase. These results suggest that the cytoplasmic mucin is sialomucin without side-chain substituent in extramammary Paget's disease located in axillary or genital area, and with a substituent at C7 in the disease located in perianal area.

D009077 Mucins High molecular weight mucoproteins that protect the surface of EPITHELIAL CELLS by providing a barrier to particulate matter and microorganisms. Membrane-anchored mucins may have additional roles concerned with protein interactions at the cell surface. Mucin
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.
