Abstract

This article discusses two cases of vulval extramammary Paget's disease and their treatment with topical imiquimod cream. The patients experienced symptoms such as itching, skin-colored plaques, and erosions, and their diagnosis was confirmed through skin biopsies. Imiquimod cream was used as a treatment, resulting in a good response in one case and a partial response in the other. Surgical excision was recommended for the patient with a partial response. The article also provides information on the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment options for extramammary Paget's disease. The Indian Dermatology Online Journal has released its January-February 2024 issue, which can be accessed and downloaded online. [Extracted from the article]
