EXTRAMAMMARY PAGETS-DISEASE OF THE VULVA RECURRING IN A SKIN-GRAFT

Extramammary Paget's disease of the vulva is an uncommon vulvar neopla sm with a high rate of recurrence. A 64-year-old white female with a h istory of extramammary Paget's disease of the vulva, excised in 1987 b y skinning vulvectomy and treated again in 1993 by skinning vulvectomy with split-thickness skin grafting, presented in 1994 with recurrent Paget's disease in the area of the skin graft. Extramammary Paget's di sease of the vulva may recur in an area previously totally excised and transplanted with autologous skin. Therefore, close follow-up is nece ssary in all patients with this pathologic entity. (C) 1995 Academic P ress, Inc.
