Hematoporphyrin derivative, a fluorescent mixture of porphyrins, has the putative property of being retained in neoplastic tissue after systemic administration. This preferential retention is the basis for the use of this agent as a tumor localizer and tumor photosensitizer. The retention of hematoporphyrin derivative in non-neoplastic but regenerating urothelium has not been reported. In this study, thermal urothelial injury was induced in Fischer 344 rats. Animals were then injected intravenously with hematoporphyrin derivative at 3 days, 1, 2, 3 and 6 weeks after injury. Photography under ultraviolet illumination was used to detect porphyrin fluorescence in the bladder mucosa. Up to 3 weeks after injury porphyrin fluorescence was detectable in areas of inflammation and hyperplasia around the area of injury. This study suggests that in this experimental model HpD fluorescence is not specific for neoplasia.

Bowen's disease (BD) is an intraepithelial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that commonly affects older individuals, with the vulva being a prevalent site in women. Lesions within the vagina pose a particular challenge for surgical treatment, often compromising both functional integrity and cosmesis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging, safe, and non-invasive technique utilizing a photosensitizer and a specific light source, widely applied in the treatment of malignancies and skin diseases.

Introduction: We report the first scoping review of the clinical urologic literature for photodynamic therapy (PDT) among multiple urologic malignancies.
Materials And Methods: A scoping review using Medline and Embase was performed for treatment of urologic malignancies with PDT.
Results: There were 84 papers included with the majority involving bladder and prostate cancer.

Verrucous carcinoma, a well-differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma with low-grade malignancy, is often associated with localized human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and excessive penile foreskin. We report a 45-year-old male who presented with a verrucous plaque on the glans penis for over four months, along with itching. Examination revealed a verrucous, erosive lesion with a cauliflower-like surface, firm texture, and irregular shape, accompanied by pain, bleeding, and a foul odor.

Article Synopsis
- Paget's disease of the perianal skin (PPD) is a rare skin condition that can be caused by issues in the colon or develop on its own.
- Surgery is usually the main treatment for PPD, but it can sometimes cause problems and isn't always a good option for older patients or those with severe cases.
- An alternative treatment called HpD-PDT helped a 70-year-old man with this condition by getting rid of the lesions without harming his ability to use the bathroom or causing other side effects.
Photodynamic therapy with intratumoral injection of photosensitizers combined with immunotherapy brings hope to patients with refractory cutaneous malignant ulcers.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is common among the elderly, typically treated with surgery. However, for surgery-ineligible patients or those with non-healing wounds progressing to malignant ulcers, non-surgical local treatments are viable. This case details an 80-year-old with recurrent back CSCC and intractable malignant ulcers post-radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
