Perianal (extramammary) Paget's disease is rare and corresponds to an intraepithelial adenocarcinoma arising from dermal apocrine sweat glands. Biopsy reveals the diagnosis. The condition is often associated with an underlying malignancy (carcinoma of the apocrine or eccrine glands, rectal carcinoma, anal carcinoma). Wide local excision is recommended when invasive growth is absent. For invasive cancer or when associated with a synchronous malignancy abdomino-perineal resection is the treatment of choice. Two cases of perianal Paget's disease are presented.

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.
