Bowenoid Papulosis


Treatment: After biopsy has ruled out an invasive component to this tumor, the main treatment of bowenoid papulosis is to clinically remove the areas of involvement.

Topical therapy with 5-fluorouracil or imiquimod has been advocated as the first-line therapy. Surgical treatment with electrocautery, cryotherapy, or laser ablation has also been reported to be successful. Both patients and their sexual partners should be seen for routine follow-up examinations.
