What is perianal Paget disease
Perianal (extramammary) Paget disease is characterized by a scaly, inflamed dermis resembling eczema. Biopsy reveals typical Paget cells with round, pale, vacuolated, mucin-positive cytoplasm with an eccentric reticular nucleus. It is often a chronic condition, but underlying carcinoma must be ruled out as invasive anorectal cancer may be associated with Paget disease.
