Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EPD) is a rare malignancy occurring main ly in apocrine gland-bearing regions, Surgical excision is the treatme nt of choice, This may be very difficult or even impossible if the dis ease is widespread or located in a critical anatomical site, We report on the successful treatment of a 71-year-old man with EPD in the supr apubic region with CO2 laser guided by photodynamic diagnosis.
