Abstract:
Erythroplasia of Queyrat is an uncommon intraepithelial carcinoma in situ affecting the mucosal surface of the penis with a significant risk of invasion. Treatment is often difficult and is associated with significant recurrence rates. Topical 5-fluorouracil treatment is very effective and regarded as the treatment of choice for histologically confirmed erythroplasia of Queyrat because of its superior results compared with those of surgery or radiation therapy. We report a typical case of erythroplasia of Queyrat involving the mucosa of the glans penis in a 64-year-old male patient who was treated by topical 5% 5-Fluorouracil cream and has achieved a long-term complete response and no recurrence after 12months.
