The medical literature available to guide the management of empd is limited, particularly for metastatic disease. Another challenge is to differentiate metastatic empd from a concurrent invasive cancer. Here, we present our case series of 6 patients with empd of the penoscrotal region, our experience with systemic therapy, and a literature review for this rare malignancy.
METHODSWe identified 6 cases of penoscrotal empd treated at The Ottawa Hospital from 2007 to 2012. All cases underwent pathology review. After research ethics board approval, clinical and demographic data, including age at presentation, presence of a second malignancy, management, and follow-up were collected from patient records. The literature was reviewed for clinical and pathologic features, treatment options, and outcomes.
