A case of recurrent lentigo maligna in a 45-year-old woman is presented. The disease relapsed several times following the surgical excision of the lesion. An alternative treatment with imiquimod 5% cream was then used. After 4 years of follow-up from the last surgery, this treatment achieved total clearance of the lesion. The problems of lentigo maligna diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

Abstract
A case of recurrent lentigo maligna in a 45-year-old woman is presented. The disease relapsed several times following the surgical excision of the lesion. An alternative treatment with imiquimod 5% cream was then used. After 4 years of follow-up from the last surgery, this treatment achieved total clearance of the lesion. The problems of lentigo maligna diagnosis and treatment are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
