Perianal Paget's disease

Abstract

A patient with extensive perianal extra-mammary Paget's disease was treated by wide local excision of the perianal skin. No underlying associated adenocarcinoma was identified, and the patient is clinically free of disease five years after treatment. A second patient had a small focus of Paget's disease confined to a hemorrhoid. The necessity for histologic evaluation of all anal lesions is emphasized.
