* Pruritic red, crusted, sharply demarcated, maplike area,<br />

* Occurring usually on the labia majora.<br />

* Possible palpable submucosal thickening or tumor<br />

BUT….tumor cells often extend into skin appendages and<br />

may extend beyond the confines of the grossly visible<br />

lesion----- prone to recurrence.<br />

Prognosis is poor if associated with<br />

invasive cancer!!<br />

Paget disease as an intraepidermal lesion, may persist for<br />

many years without invasion.<br />

(+ PAS, alcian blue, or mucicarmine stains)<br />

finely granular cytoplasm<br />

Single or small nests of large tumor cells in epidermis<br />

Ultrastructure: Paget cells display apocrine, eccrine, &<br />

keratinocyte differentiation<br />

Presumably arise from primitive epithelial progenitor cells.<br />

pale cytoplasm<br />
