Abstract

The combination of multiple sessions of Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and surgery have been used to treat an extensive superficial lesion of squamous cell carcinoma in situ. Methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) mediated PDT was applied to reduce the tumoral area and a small surgical removal was performed to complete elimination of the lesion. The reduction of the tumor area avoided the need for a skin graft application as well as possible postoperative complications, offering a more favorable cosmetic outcome. Two-years of follow-up showed no recurrence. The case is interesting and demonstrate potentialities for the combined use of PDT and surgery. (AU)
