Abstrakt: Abstract: Electron beams represent an important treatment modality for providing an accurate dose of therapy to superficial cancers. This case reports important findings of dermal invasion in patients with extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) using microscopic measurements and electron beam coverage. EMPD is a rare cutaneous adenocarcinoma generally arising in the anogenital region. Surgery is still a curable treatment option for patients with EMPD, whereas radiation therapy (RT) is an alternative for inoperable cases and is necessary in cases where surgery is not performed. This case report describes our experience and reviews the relevant literature on the feasibility of electron RT according to the dermal invasion length. An 80-year-old patient was diagnosed with EMPD and presented for definite radiation treatment. We observed no grade 3 toxicities during electron RT, and at the last follow-up visit, no signs of relapse were observed. There are no reports of electron irradiation as a feasible treatment option for EMPD considering the epidermal invasion length.
