Abstract

Many treatments for perianal squamous cell carcinoma in situ have been used. Surgery and cryotherapy, which are known to be the most effective treatment for this disease, may have high risk of cosmetic and functional deformity. We have treated squamous cell carcinoma in situ in renal transplant patient with 5% imiquimod successfully. With the experience of our treatment for squamous cell carcinoma in situ, 5% imiquimod cream can be an alternative treatment option of squamous cell carcinoma in situ of anus.
