title: [Plastic treatment of Paget's disease of the scrotum and penis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the clinical features and plastic treatment of Paget's disease of the scrotum and penis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We analyzed 11 cases of Paget's disease of the scrotum and penis treated from 1997 to 2007. Extended excision of the focus of infection was performed and the skin absence was repaired by free skin grafting, local random skin flap, and island skin flap.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Satisfactory wound healing was achieved in all but 1 case, which was delayed due to infection. All the patients were followed up for 1-4 years. One patient relapsed 2 years after the surgery and received a second operation, and another 1 died of lymphoma complicated by lung infection. The original shape and contractibility of the scrotum and penis were basically preserved and their appearance and function were fairly good.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For patients with Pagets disease of the scrotum and penis, it is a desirable method to at once excise the lesion and repair the skin absence by plastic surgery.
