Abstract
-
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ on the penis has been reported to have variable success and morbidity. A 71-year-old male patient with the condition was successfully treated with a topical application of 5% imiquimod cream, three times a week for 4 weeks. A biopsy specimen was obtained to confirm tumor clearance. There was no clinical evidence of any residual tumor 3 months after the therapy was completed. There was also no evidence of scarring, deformity or systemic side effects.
