Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Lentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) are challenging skin conditions.
  • Cryotherapy is a treatment option for these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of cryotherapy for LM and LMM.

Main Methods:

  • Eleven patients (10 with LM, 1 with LMM) underwent cryotherapy.
  • Outcomes were monitored for clearance and recurrence.

Main Results:

  • Complete symptom clearance was achieved in 10 out of 11 patients.
  • Four patients experienced recurrences.
  • Three of the four recurrent cases achieved clearance with further treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Cryotherapy demonstrates high initial efficacy for LM and LMM.
  • Recurrence is possible, but further treatment can be successful.
