The Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) was associated with underlying internal adenocarcinoma, known as secondary EMPD, though differences by an anatomic subtype and screening implications remained unclear.
Researchers conducted a retrospective study to determine the rates of secondary EMPD and the types of adenocarcinomas associated with EMPD anatomic subtype and to propose a screening algorithm for underlying the adenocarcinoma.
Investigators concluded that screening for underlying the adenocarcinoma in EMPD should be guided by an anatomic location.
