Abstract
We present two cases of primary limited cutaneous perineal and genital extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) that were successfully treated with imiquimod 5% cream. Clinical and histologic cure was confirmed after 7.5 to 12 weeks of monotherapy. Treatment-associated morbidity is minimal compared with more invasive therapies, and self-application by the patient improves convenience and appeal. Imiquimod may offer a minimally invasive and promising therapeutic option for the treatment of limited cutaneous EMPD. The diagnosis and management of EMPD and the current literature regarding imiquimod therapy are reviewed.Entities:
