Case report demonstrates effective cryotherapy for Bowen’s disease in an elderly immunocompetent patient, suggesting its viability as a treatment option.
Bowen’s disease (BD) is a form of squamous cell carcinoma in situ , frequently affecting elderly individuals with ultraviolet-damaged skin. Cryotherapy is among the treatment options, especially when surgical intervention is not feasible. In this case report, a 71-year-old immunocompetent female with a lesion located over the medial aspect of the left thigh, a non-sun-exposed area, was treated with cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen (−196°C).
