An 87-year-old female presented with a recurrent vulvar lesion refractory to topical imiquimod and treated with multiple wide local excisions (WLE). Microscopic examination of the final WLE specimen revealed unique histologic features, primarily supra-basal intraepidermal acantholysis with epidermal papillomatosis and hyperkeratosis. The epidermis, composed of two distinct cell populations, exhibited full-thickness atypia. Paget cells with high mitotic activity were present in the basal and parabasal layers surrounding benign squamous cells in the mid-squamous mucosa. The histologic features were suspicious of the EMPD involving a warty lesion and/or invasive squamous cell carcinoma. In addition to the intraepidermal component, dermal invasion was also present with lymphovascular space invasion. Immunohistochemical studies (KRT7, HER2, and GATA3 reactivity in Paget cells, p63 negativity, and rare mucin in Paget cells) supported the diagnosis of acantholytic anaplastic EMPD. AAEMPD, a rare variant of EMPD, shares similar prognosis and behavior with the classic Paget disease. Recognition and accurate diagnosis of this subtype is crucial for optimal patient management, given distinct treatment strategies compared with other entities in the differential diagnosis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12873,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologic Oncology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142318866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite comprising only 2.5 % of cancers in women, ovarian cancer ranks as the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, with patients frequently receiving late diagnoses. Chemotherapy, a primary treatment, frequently causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), affecting over 60 % of patients and leading to severe sensory, motor, and autonomic nerve impairments. This often necessitates dosage reduction or discontinuation of treatment, thereby increasing mortality. While CIPN’s impact on patients is well-documented, there is a paucity of knowledge of how structural and intermediary social determinants of health factors (SDOH), such as socioeconomic and political context, material circumstances such as living and walking conditions, area deprivation, and food availability, affect CIPN severity. The aim of this article was to explore the association between various SDOH and CIPN severity in ovarian cancer, identifying potential research gaps and future research directions.
