ABSTRACT
Actinic keratoses (AK) are premalignant lesions, which can develop into invasive squamous cell carcinoma(SSC). Therapies for AK include cryotherapy, curettage, topical 5-fluorouracil, laser therapy and so forth. All therapies currently prescribed can be painful and may result in scarring and changes in skin pigmentation. A potential new treatment modality for AK is the imiquimod (Aldara(R)), which can be applied by patients themselves. We reported a case of AK which was very extensive on the scalp of the old man, who was treated with topical imiquimod.
