Abstract
- Since Paget`s first description in 1874 of what is presently known as Paget`s disease of the nipple, similar lesions have been reported rarely on the penis and scrotum, vulva, perineum, axilla and the eyelids. Because it is often associated with a subjacent or visceral malignancy and recurrence, extramammary Paget`s disease(EPD) is considered as malignant condition. This case report describes two patients with extramammary Paget`s disease of the penoscrotal area. One of them had renal cell carcinoma in left kidney and was managed by radical nephrectomy. Treatments for EPD were initiated by CO2 laser 3 or 4 times, but failed and then we excised the lesion widely and closed primarily with split thickness skin graft in one of the cases.
