Abstract

A 90-year-old woman presented with an extensive primary form of extramammary Paget disease localized in the anogenital region. An associated carcinoma could be excluded. Due to the age of the patient, the location and extent of the tumor as well as existing comorbidities, neither a surgical nor a radio-oncological treatment were advisable. A local treatment with imiquimod 5% cream applied 3 times weekly for 2 × 3 weeks led to a clinically and histopathologically complete remission. As also shown by other authors, imiquimod appears to be a treatment option for the primary form of extramammary Paget disease.
