Extramammary Paget’s disease: Role of radiation therapy

SUMMARYExtramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is an uncommon premalignant skin condition that has been traditionally managed with surgery. A report of long‐standing Paget’s disease with transformation to invasive adenocarcinoma definitively managed with radiation therapy is presented. A review of cases of extramammary Paget’s disease treated with radiation therapy is discussed. The use of radiation therapy should be considered in selected cases, as these studies demonstrate acceptable rates of local control when used as an adjunct to surgery, or as a definitive treatment modality.
