ABSTRACT
Here we report a case of a 72-year-old male patient recurred in bone marrow alone with pulmonary tumor embolism after an excision of extramammary Paget's disease of scrotum 3 years ago. The patient received paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy with respiratory support in intensive care unit. Four days after chemotherapy, the oxygen demand decreased and the patient was transferred to general ward. The platelet count recovered after 2 weeks. Finally, he died of hepatic failure from Paget's disease hepatic involvement confirmed by liver biopsy at 10 months after recurrence. This is a rare case of recurred extramammary Paget's disease in bone marrow alone with pulmonary tumor embolism, which was properly diagnosed with high suspicion and was successfully treated with immediate chemotherapy.
