A case of Paget's disease of the vulva recurring in a musculocutaneous flap.
A case of Paget's disease of the vulva which recurred in a reconstructed gracilis musculocutaneous flap without invasing adenocarcinoma is presented. The recurrent lesion was seen in the basal layer of the epidermis of the flap without invasion into the dermis. The possibility of an intraepidermal lateral invasion of Paget's cells into the epidermis of the flap is suggested.
