Melanoma Promotion after Photodynamic Therapy of a Suspected Bowen's Disease Lesion
Dermatology, 10/26/09

Szeimies RM et al. – The authors report on a 61–year–old male patient who developed a melanoma at the site of a suspected Bowen's lesion on the right cheek. This lesion had evolved for years and had been treated using photodynamic therapy (PDT) in an outpatient facility. Only a couple of months after a single PDT treatment, a melanoma was histologically diagnosed. After excision, multiple metastases were found. The therapeutic strategy comprised re–excision, neck dissection and lateral parotidectomy – due to a metastasis – as well as subsequent alpha–interferon injections.
