Abstract
Extra mammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare condition involving the vulva, anogenital region, and axilla. Vulvar disease usually presents as a slow growing well-defined itchy plaque with crustations or ulcerations over the affected area in postmenopausal women. Well-established guidelines for diagnosis and management are not available for this rare condition. Our patient is a 64-year-old postmenopausal woman with a history of similar complaints of 2 years duration, not responding to multiple topical treatments. She was diagnosed with EMPD on incisional biopsy and treated with surgery at our centre.
