DIEGO RODRIGUEZ, E. de; VILLANUEVA PENA, A.; HERNANDEZ CASTRILLO, A. GOMEZ ORTEGA, J.Mª. Treatment of bowen`disease of the penis with imiquimod 5% cream. []. , 29, 8, pp.797-800. ISSN 0210-4806.
We present an alternative treatment of the intraepithelial neoplasms of penis (Bowen`s disease), the topical application of imiquimod 5% cream. It was applied 3 times weekly for 5 weeks. Imiquimod is an imidazoquinolone immune response modifier that has been shown to have indirect antiviral and antitumor effects with few adverse effects. Imiquimod 5% cream may represent an alternative treatment option for Bowen`s disease.
