[Spindle-cell carcinoma in situ treated with 5% imiquimod].
We present the case of a 70-year-old woman with no personal history of interest who presented to her physician with a plaque in the right infraumbilical region whose largest diameter measured nine centimeters. The clinical and histological diagnosis was Bowen's disease. She was treated with 5 % imiquimod cream, once a day, four times a week, for eight weeks, with an excellent response. One year after treatment, no new lesions have appeared in the treated area.
