[Clinical analysis of 15 cases of Paget's disease of the scrotum].
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinicopathologic features and treatment of Paget's disease of the scrotum.


METHODS
Fifteen cases of Paget's disease of the scrotum, pathologically diagnosed and successfully treated by surgery from 1987 to 2003, were studied retrospectively.


RESULTS
Typical pathological features were observed in all the patients. Thirteen cases were followed up for 0. 5 approximately 13 years, of whom 1 case relapsed within 3 years, 2 died of metastasis after 2 years, and 3 died of cardiovascular diseases, with no recurrence in the others.


CONCLUSIONS
Early biopsy and extensive excision of the scrotal lesion is the first choice of treatment for Paget's disease, with good operative effect and satisfactory prognosis. A 2nd operation could be considered for patients of local relapse.
