Abstract
|
|
|
Bowen disease (BD), or intraepithelial squamous cell carci-noma (SCC), may progress to an invasive SCC. Although sur-gery is preferred because of the low recurrence rate, it can re-sult in hypertrophic scarringor contracture, particularly in le-sions on the hands. We report a case of BD in the first web space of the hand, which was treated with ablative fractional laser-assisted photodynamic therapy (AFXL-assisted PDT). After multiple AFXL-assisted PDT sessions, the lesion showed no clinical or pathological abnormalities. Thus, we believe that PDT can be an alternative treatment for BD occurring in the web space of the hand. (Ann Dermatol 27(1) 76¡78, 2015)
