Published: February 2005

We report the case of a 70-year-old white male with an extensive recurrence of lentigo maligna in a skin-transplanted region. He was treated with imiquimod 5% cream topically applied 5 times a week for a total duration of 9 months. Clinically and histologically, a complete clearing of the lesion was observed after treatment. Topical treatment with imiquimod seems to be effective and safe in lentigo maligna.
