Abstract

Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is an adenocarcinoma arising from the skin or skin appendages which is sometimes associated with an underlying malignancy. EMPD is most commonly seen in the vulva, followed by perianal region, and the male genitalia. In most cases, patient presents with eczematous lesion persisting for long duration. A 77-year-old gentleman had a history of chronic eczematous lesion over penis and scrotum for the last 10 years. Examination revealed an erythematous plaque like eczematous lesion over the penis and scrotum. Biopsy with IHC of lesion is suggestive of EMPD. Wide local excision of lesion and left inguinal lymph node dissection with pedicled left superficial circumflex iliac perforator flap cover was done. The final histopathology with IHC confirmed the diagnosis of EMPD. The postoperative period was uneventful, and patient was discharged. EMPD of the penis and scrotum is a rare presentation, and it is ideally treated with wide excision.
