Imiquimod is well tolerated when applied every two

Imiquimod could also be given as neoadjuvant therapy

However, it must be noted that imiquimod has been
reported in only epidermal forms and without
underlying neoplasia. Randomized controlled studies
are necessary to define a standard treatment
protocol. Medium and longterm follow up is essential
to evaluate the rate of recurrence.
No regional perianal paget's disease

and there was no other skin lesion elsewhere.
Physical examination was unremarkable except
prostate hypertrophy suggestive of prostate adenoma.
Two punch skin biopsies were performed, one on the
