Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: A partial response was observed in both primary disease and metastatic disease. The primary tumor resolved almost entirely, leaving only a scar. Computed tomography scan revealed liver metastases that appeared to change into necrotic tissue; the metastases in lymph nodes and adrenal glands were markedly decreased and hardly detectable. In addition, the carcinoembryonic antigen level, a useful tumor marker for extramammary Paget's disease, decreased remarkably. It is suggested that this patient's survival period could have been prolonged. Serious side effects were not observed during this treatment. CONCLUSION:
