Highlights • We collected 151 patients with invasive extramammary Paget's disease. • The rate of LN metastasis in patients without lymphadenopathy was 15%. • On the other hand, patients with lymphadenopathy had LN metastasis in 80%. • No difference in survival between patients with or without SLN metastasis. • Patients with lymphadenopathy showed worse survival than those with positive SLN.
