Penile reconstruction for extramammary Paget's disease.
The authors report their experience of an extremely rare case of extramammary Paget's disease presenting a deformational change of the penis, which required penile reconstruction after tumor resection. Tumor cells had invaded the dermis beyond the basement membrane of the epidermis. Tumor cells were found at the epithelium of the urethra, but had not invaded the corpus cavernosum. However, fibrotic changes were found in the corpus cavernosum. More than half the length of the penis was resected. Penile reconstruction was performed using a free sensory radial forearm flap. The defects in the mons pubis, scrotum, and the remaining corpus cavernosum were covered using a meshed split skin graft or sheeted split skin graft. Ten months after the operation, the tumor had not recurred and no metastasis was found. The urinary stream was narrow compared with that of a healthy man, but urinary voiding had not been disturbed. Sensory recovery was 12 mm with the two-point discrimination test at the distal end of the reconstructed penis.
