[Extra-mammary Paget's disease. An HPV-correlated neoplasia?].
Eight cases of Paget's disease of the vulva and anogenital region are presented. Seven cases presented intraepithelial lesions and only one showed superficial intraepidermal diffusion. The average age of the patients in our series was 58.8 years. In all cases histochemical and immunohistochemical reactions were positive, except for the CEA reaction (only one case was positive). Specimens from our series were tested for presence of HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 35 by in situ DNA hybridization. All cases were negative. Paget's disease, at the moment, is the only tumor of the low female genital tract non HPV-associated. Recurrences are very frequent even many years after radical surgery treatment.
