Extramammary Paget disease in a retrorectal dermoid cyst: report of a unique case

Am J Surg Pathol. 2008 Apr;32(4):635-9. doi: 10.1097/PAS.0b013e318158427b.

Abstract

Retrorectal (presacral) dermoid cysts are rare entities, also described as mature cystic or monodermal teratomas. We present a unique case arising in a 64-year-old man, in which the lining squamous epithelium showed marked expansion by Paget disease of extramammary type, and discuss the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings.
