Extra-mammary Paget’s disease, a rare
neoplasm, have variable rates of invasion. Vulva is the
most common extra mammary site, others being
perineal, perianal and scrotal region in a few cases.
Presence of Paget’s cells in tissue biopsy confirms the
diagnosis, whereas invasion beyond basement to
surrounding structure is associated with malignant
nature of disease. It commonly occurs in
postmenopausal, elderly females. This case reports told
off a 71-year-old woman presented with an ulcerated
lesion in vulva for 1-year duration which came out as
invasive vulvar Paget’s disease. Wide local excision
followed by post-operative whole pelvic irradiation was
given for radical cure. Unfortunately, patient had local
reoccurrence within 1-year and was given metronomic
chemotherapy with oral cyclophosphamide and
capecitabine primarily. As disease was progressive in
this regimen, she was shifted to metronomic
chemotherapy with oral methotrexate and celecoxib.
Patient had got symptomatic relief with current regimen
and is continuing the regimen for last 3-years. This case
report showed the high chance of reoccurrence in vulvar
Paget’s disease and partial response to oral methotrexate
in such condition. More case reports and case series are
needed for driving the definite conclusions on treatment
protocol and role of oral metronomic chemotherapy for
invasive vulvar Paget’s disease
