Abstract EN
Our understanding of the pathogenesis of Paget's disease of the vulva and the breast remains limited.
Current evidence supports the fact that angiogenesis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several diseases.
Therefore, we sought to define its role, as correlated with microvessel density, in Paget's disease of the vulva and the breast.
Microvessels were analysed using anti-von Willebrand factor antibody in 105 cases of Paget's disease of the vulva and the breast comprising 71 cases of Paget's disease of the vulva, including 8 cases with invasive disease, and 34 cases of Paget's disease of the breast.
The latter included 12 cases with DCIS, 5 cases with both DCIS and invasive carcinoma, and 6 with carcinoma alone.
Eleven cases had no underlying tumour identified.
Increased microvessel density was demonstrated in Paget's disease of the breast with DCIS and with carcinoma alone compared to Paget's disease of the breast alone, P<0.08 and P<0.013, respectively.
There were no significant differences in microvessel density in the vulval cases.
Neovascularisation is an important process in the development of Paget's disease of the breast.
Other biological and molecular processes are more involved in the pathogenesis of Paget's disease of the vulva.
