Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease (EPD) is a rare malignancy occurring mainly in apocrine gland-bearing regions. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. This may be very difficult or even impossible if the disease 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 suprapubic region with CO2 laser guided by photodynamic diagnosis.Keywords
