  • Diagnosis and Therapeutic Methods of Paget's Disease

    ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, therapeutic methods of Paget's disease involving the scrotum. MethodsThe clinical data of 18 patients with Paget's disease treated in our hospital between 2008 and 2013 involving the scrotum were analyzed retrospectively. The patients' age ranged from 55 to 81 years old with an average of 69. The disease course ranged from 9 months to 18 years, averaging 6 years and 3 months. The main clinical pr was itching (94.4%), followed by exudation (66.7%), pain (11.1%), and desquamation (5.6%). All patients underwent extended resection. ResultsThe patients were followed up for 8 to 52 months averaging 34 months. Four patients' postoperative pathological report found focus on the excision margin, and one of them had local recurrence after 14 months. The remaining 14 cases had no local recurrence. One patient's pathological findings reported Paget's disease combined with invasive adenocarcinoma which invaded subcutaneous fat tissue layer, and this patient developed inguinal lymph node metastasis 20 months after operation. Another patient combined with adenocarcinoma which invaded deep dermis layer developed liver and lung metastasis 18 months after operation. ConclusionPaget's disease involving the scrotum is more commonly seen in older patients, and its main clinical presentation is itching. Paget's disease is usually misdiagnosed, so patients should undergo pathological examination early to clear diagnosis. Surgery is the main treatment. Paget's disease combined with invasive adenocarcinoma has poor prognosis.
