Abstract:
Extramammary Pagets disease of the vulva is an uncommon vulvar neoplasm with a high rate of recurrence. We report a young woman in whom vulval Paget's disease occurred in association with local adenocarcinoma. The patient presented at the age of 28 years with slowly growing vulval mass which had some mucoid discharge. Biopsy of the mass showed Paget's disease with associated local adenocarcinoma. This patient received modified radical vulvectomy with unilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy. Until now she is under follow up without evidence of recurrence for 24 months. According to our medline research from 1980 to 2000, this case is the youngest asian patient yet recorded. We recommend that abnormally growing vulvar mass need to be biopsied eventhough she is young.
