RESUMO
Paget's disease (PD) denotes an initially intra-epidermal adenocarcinoma that can later invade the dermis and metastasise. Among the extramammary forms of PD (EMPD), penoscrotal presentations are rarer than the vulvar and perianal forms. Once diagnosis has been confirmed by histopathological examination, a search for associated neoplasia must be conducted, although penoscrotal EMPD is less frequently associated with underlying neoplasia than mammary PD (MPD). The associated cancer most often involves a neighbouring organ, with prostate cancer being the most common, or in some cases consists of underlying cutaneous adnexal tumours. First-line therapy consists of surgical excision. Alternatives to surgery (imiquimod, CO2 laser vaporisation, dynamic phototherapy) may be considered in certain cases.

Dermatologists have many therapeutic options for the management of actinic keratoses (AK), in order to treat individual lesions or wider areas. Field cancerization is an area of sun-damaged skin, where visible and subclinical lesions co-exist, and is prone to the development of further AK lesions and sun-related skin cancers (SC). Treatments available are instrumental or medical. Resistance to treatment or atypical symptoms must lead to a biopsy for histological exam. Cryotherapy is the most frequently used method to destroy small or isolated AK, whereas photodynamic therapy (PDT), 5-fluoro-uracil (5-FU), imiquimod, ingenol mebutate and diclofenac are required for large, multiple lesions, and for the treatment of field cancerization. Side-effects of these therapies are essentially local, including pain, irritation, erythema, edema and scars. There is no randomized comparative study reviewing all these treatments, therefore physicians must also consider clinical characteristics, patient's compliance, side-effects and cost when treating AK. Medicoeconomic data of these treatments have been analyzed in several countries, and annual costs are estimated between 250 and 2 000 , with an uncertain cost-effective relation. Finally, beyond treatment of AK lesions, patients with AK are at high risk of developing SC, and must therefore have regular full-body examination, in order to be detected and treated precociously. © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS.
