Abstract

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.
